Through this selection of Jazz standards, the trio captures the course of an evening - while limiting their music in terms of instrumentation, repertoire and recording technique, to evoke the narrow world of the night. \u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ePlaying with \u003cstrong\u003eEd Verhoeff\u003c\/strong\u003e on guitar and \u003cstrong\u003eEric van der Westen\u003c\/strong\u003e on bass,\u003cstrong\u003e Angelo Verploegen\u003c\/strong\u003e reunited a trio with more than twenty years of shared history behind them.

This trio brought them back to the core - \"like in a good dish, sometimes no additional ingredients are needed\" says Verploegen. \u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDuring the pandemic - twenty years after their first performance - they found the perfect moment to renew their collaboration once more. The chamber jazz trio decided to paint a small portrait of the night on a new album with Just Listen Records. On the 22nd and 23rd of May 2021, they recorded ‘When Night Falls’ at Studio150 Bethlehemkerk, a former Lutheran Church in Amsterdam.\u003c\/span\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eSongs of Eventide\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\nVerploegen selected vocal jazz standards that lead us through the different stages of the night. Starting off by asking his listeners to 'Close Your Eyes', we get to join Verploegen and his trio on nighttime adventures - first going out 'Dancing In The Dark' and then following the course of the evening through standards like 'Makin Whoopee', 'It's a Pity to Say Goodnight', 'Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars' and 'Stardust'. The album ends with the dawn: 'Softly, as in a Morning Sunrise'.\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 2\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\r\n\r\nVerploegen deliberately wanted to limit himself to vocal standards, songs that were always meant to be sung, where melody and lyrics were conceived at the same time, guiding and informing each other. For him, the lyrics are an important extra layer of meaning, playing a part in his phrasing, experience and performance.\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"page\" title=\"Page 4\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\r\n\u003cblockquote\u003eDream along on ‘When Night Falls’.

Now you must step up to the plate and show what you can do with them yourself.\" Verploegen believes that it is not in new compositions, but within the boundaries of the known, in your own variations and improvisations on familiar themes, that you can show your own identity to the fullest.\r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eAngelo Verploegen - Flugelhorn\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eEd Verhoeff - Guitar\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eEric van der Westen - Bass\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Just Listen Records","offers":[{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739575300420,"sku":"JL026-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739575333188,"sku":"JL026-9","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739575365956,"sku":"JL026-10","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739575398724,"sku":"JL026-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739575431492,"sku":"JL026-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739575464260,"sku":"JL026-16","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739575497028,"sku":"JL026-17","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739575529796,"sku":"JL026-18","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739575562564,"sku":"JL026-19","price":27.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 512 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739575595332,"sku":"JL026-21","price":35.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739575628100,"sku":"JL026-22","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DXD 24 Bit \/ 5ch Surround","offer_id":56739575660868,"sku":"JL026-23","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57338941997380,"sku":"JL026-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57338942030148,"sku":"JL026S1417","price":27.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57338942062916,"sku":"JL026S1517","price":30.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 256 \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57338942095684,"sku":"JL026S1617","price":34.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57338942128452,"sku":"JL026S69","price":26.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo \u0026 5ch Surround","offer_id":57338942161220,"sku":"JL026S710","price":25.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/JL026.jpg?v=1790559767","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/jl026-when-night-falls","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
