Willem Breuker blew the chairs straight and the scores askew, somewhere between fanfare, free jazz, and a wink that lingers just a little too long. With the “godfather” of the Dutch improv scene, everything marches merrily out of step, yet, strangely enough, everyone arrives at exactly the same time. Jesse Schilderink feels a strong connection to Breuker (1944–2010) and created a program for Wonderfeel dedicated to his idol. Together with Pierre Courbois on drums, one of Breuker’s fellow pioneers, and now also one of Jesse’s stage partners.
