did several workshops in Delft. After moving to the Eindhoven region in 1998 he followed several workshops
with Vereniging Jazzworks Eindhoven. He played in different bands over the years but was always most interested
in improvised music. By accident he got his hands on a baritonsax and was sold. This was his new thing. Gert has
