Jurgen Burdorf

Jurgen Burdorf (1980) is a guitar player / producer from 's-Hertogenbosch, NL. After graduating from the Jazz Conservatory of Amsterdam in 2002, he's pursuing a broad career in music. Equally at home in jazz, latin, pop, rock, theatremusic and a major reader of philosophy (currently reading F. Nietzsche) and Dutch literature, his major goal is to bring a feeling of sincerity of expression in his music, productions and playing, a quality he feels a lot of music misses. Besides being active as a player, Jurgen is busy in his studio , where he's recording friends, colleagues and his own repertoire aswell as commercial projects. He has his own record label, Burdorf Records . Current releases on Burdorf Records are an album and EP of Dutch singer/songwriter Jelle Amersfoort. Jurgens teachers included Martijn van Iterson, Jesse van Ruller, Maarten van der Grinten, Eef Albers and Leonardo Amuedo. Further influences are the music of Bela Bartok, WA Mozart, Miles, John Coltrane, favorites from his youth, like Dire Straits, Soundgarden, Faith No More, producer/engineer George Massenburg and singers Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel and Linda Ronstadt.
