About Jasper Stadhouders
Jasper Stadhouders (Tilburg, NL, 1989) belongs to the younger generation of Dutch improvisers. Since arriving in Amsterdam, Jasper has exploded onto the international improvised music scene. His playing showcases a completely natural musicality. One has the sense that he is so connected with his instrument he can play whatever he imagines.
