jopie

Jopie is a Dutch recording duo with extensive stage experience. We hitched up in 2003, playing drums and bass in a jazz band.
When the band collapsed we started recording, which we'll keep on doing.
Presently JoPie has recorded "Just a Girl". We are very proud of the result as it represents a return to the basics of a small band and a pure lovesong. We hope you like it!Last year we recorded "Alles Ademt / Liefde", a song inspired by the beautiful improvisation by our friend Koen Scherer. Harvest Moon is a recording we made of this Neil Young classic. We did ask him permission, but he hasn't reacted yet. We'll remove the song if you don't like it Neil!
Long gone by is a very old recording Jo made with his good buddy "Rude Ass presents", an accomplished singer-songwriter from Groningen, the Netherlands.Jo recently finished his second year of playing bass in the workshop of Dies le Duc, a composer of modern music in the Netherlands. Very educational! For this purpose Jo used a five string Cort action bass which was fine-tuned by Sjak Zwier , a well known luthier from Vlissingen, The Netherlands.
Meanwhile Pie has restructured the studio where "Twintig" (Twenty) and "Harvest moon" were recorded so beautifully.Pie has built an impressive studio based on digital technology and his enormous recording-experience. The code-word is gigabytes!
