RUDY VAN GELDER

In 2010 Rob Mostert recorded his first solo album at the recording studio
of legendary Blue Note sound engineer Rudy Van Gelder.
The reason for recording there, Rob says, is the unique capability
of Rudy Van Gelder to record Hammond Jazz. The sounds of legends
such as Jimmy Smith, Miles Davis, John Coltrane (Love Supreme)
and many other's, were born in his studio.

WHAT RUDY VAN GELDER SAYS...
about Rob Mostert and his Dutch Organ Group:

"This session was unusual: the musicians came from the Netherlands,
but the music comes from here, from the Blue Note tradition that I helped
create in my studio, recording organ trios for Alfred Lion. It's very gratifying
to know that the work I did in the USA, in Hackensack and Englewood Cliffs,
is heard and appreciated in the Netherlands. Rob Mostert and his
Dutch Organ Group added their own elements to the music and the results
are fresh and exciting. Personally, we were very compatible.
It was particularly pleasant that they came from a place near where
my father was born. I felt a connection with them, and with the music
they played. The session was very relaxed and I believe that can be heard
in the music. Rudy Van Gelder Van Gelder Recording Studio, Inc.".
