Harry Verbeke Quartet Stella By Starlight

Taken from his 1990 Album on Timeless Records’ Harry Verbeke Quartet - Plays romantic ballads Harry Verbeke - Tenor Sax Carlo de Wijs - Organ Hein van de Geyn - Bass Arnoud Gerritse - Drums Recorded in Studio 44, Monster, 17 June 1985 Harry Verbeke (Leeuwarden, 10 April 1922 - Haarlem, 27 January 2004) is maybe the only Dutch tenor player with a directly identifiable sound. He developed his tone during the war years when he was forced to practice in a wardrobe when he was in hiding from the German occupiers. In spite of his grand sound he never gained the recognition he deserved. Verbeke’s glory days were his years with the Diamond Five, 1958-1962.
