provided by: www.glittertools.comHi I am Jeffrey Bax long time ago (45 years) I was born in Vlissingen this is the south west part of Holland, I grow up in a family with 3 brothers and 1 sister. When we were young there was always music in our home, it was a meeting point of musicians who lived in Vlissingen. I started to play music when I was the age of 12 years, I started with drums because everybody in the family wanted to play guitar or bass and the only instrument that was left was the drums. My parents supported the music completely and they also traveled with the family group the Baxfamily. We won a television contest called Stuif es in and we played as support act (for famous Dutch acts) through the whole country for years, we also did a tour to Indonesia. Also we played in the country hall in bobbejaanland in Belgium for years with (Chuck memphis dutch Elvis) and Jimmy Lawton (usa) we did also some radio gigs Countrytime (gerard de vries) en Rock en roll methode.After this time I got together with a good friend from school to make rock music, Norman Verhage and Ivo Wennekes.I started to play rock covers, after several years we later played with Meindert Inderwisch (Straight Johns) Bob rocanovic, Janne Buurman, Dim Dijkgraaf, Chris Sibbald. Also I played in that time as drummer in the band ‘Dreams die first’ where we won the prize of best band in the part of Holland, ZeelandAfter this period I started to study music at the VILM Hilversum, after that I also studied drums; Fred van Vloten was my mentor. I also had bass lessons; Cees Den Hoed was my mentor. Later I started the study Popdocent at the conservatorium Rotterdam, and I joined the covers band Bulldozeband (blues,rockcovers we are still playing … 17 years now !!!!) I meet also Ferry Smans with whom I played in the band called ‘Two men acoustical Jam’ with Singer Jan Loomans (ex Diesel) and drummer Chris Strik and bass player Rens lemaire. I have done several projects with artists whom I have played with; Bertus Borgers, Cees Meerman, Wally Tax, Peter Kempe, Remco van de Sluis, Han Dasselaar, Leo v.d. Ketterij, Alvin Manuhuwa, Gregory Pataca, Dick Noordijk,Willem Dyck, Kiki Gomez, Sasha Lapre, Coen Woltersband, Yellow Pearl, and also International artist like Dunn Packer, Rick Berthod, Aboubass (bassplayer Alpha Blondi), Emeraldi Vitalli, Misha Kostava, Walfredo jr. Reyes, Remco v.d. Sluis, Dave imby, Peter Koelewijn Recently I have made a CD with Laura Wood, (UK) with guitar player Brian Quite. I played the drums and the bass parts on the cd and it is all original songs. We hope to play with this band on the stage if there is interest by booking and record agencies, we will work on it! Further, I have a project with Sometimemen (Pjotr van de Made Drums, Daniel Doornhein lead vocals, Harold Verwey Guitar, Kees Groeneveld guitar) and Gasket (The same line-up, only with girl singer Ingrid Groeneveld). This is a music project with all good friends of mine and we have worked together now for more than 10 years. We only make our own songs and we have no potencies with this group but it is nice that we sometimes can play on the stage and record new songs together. I also have one Drum project with a Death metal band called ‘Held’ Tom Palms guitar, Dennis leadvocals, Roeland basguitar, this is also with own songs and we tried to make our own sound. We tried to produced and record the whole project in our own home studio. I see in the future to make a lot of music productions, beside my work in a musical store in Rotterdam. It's a busy life, but I find the time to make my own home studio, and release some more cd's …I hope more with Laura Wood.
