[Dixielandjazz] Video with nice Conn Connqueror alto saxophone, Birmingham Jazz Festival 2008

[Bert Brandsma]

Hello Ron,Lielian is the drummer, she also plays banjo. She studied a while at Conservatory Groningen and is a versatile musician.Good reader, esp. Big band swing.She has an unusual talent for swing, specialised in tastefull brushes playing.Her parents came from Indonesia,  she has 3/4 Indonesian background, 1/8 Chinese and 1/8 Dutch.Very nice person, intelligent young woman. Happy look at life.I first met her when I did some gigs as guest soloist on clarinet with different big bands, and had to do a kind of Goodman/Krupa act with her.When our trombone player Selena at a certain point found it not so funny to work only with men all the time, I thought about Lielian and since then she often plays with the band.She plays drums on part of our last CD and 8 tracks on our DVD on drums and 1 on banjo.Kind regards,Bert Brandsma
