RECORDINGS
As a leader

Made by Mates 
( with Dale Barlow sax & Scott Tinkler Trumpet )

1998 – Disckus Records  


.

 

......eighteen exciting and original pieces. 
De Boo puts down inventive and strong driving patterns
under the tunes without filling the space with
obbligato cymbalclattering or dutiful ’ fills’.

 

1999
Edo Dijksterhuis 
NRC HANDELSBLAD, Holland

 


Live at The Bimhuis
( with Wolter Wierbos trombone & Anton Goudsmit  guitar ) 
2001 - Trytone
 


......clean-cut, the flying Dutchmen 
who are invading the new jazz are musical madcaps who
mix cocktails of the logical and the surreal................
      
Drummer Victor de Boo’s languidly bluesy date marks a pleasing excursion for a seldom-heard combo.....
Track after track, the three let things slow-burn
organically...................
