Bert Lochs

I am a professional trumpet player, composer of both jazz and classical pieces for small and large ensembles alike and a teacher. I am leader/initiator of two trio's: Trio Bert Lochs and Lochs/Balthaus/Herskedal and I play in the Guus Tangelder Bigband, Pieter Basts E.S.P and the Jasper Somsen Group. With my trio's I made some very well received CD's and I played at the North Sea Jazz Festival and a lot of Dutch and German venues. I teach at home and at the music school of Alphen a/d Rijn. One of my main skills is teaching the Balanced Embouchure method. A method of trumpet pedagogue Jeff Smiley. I discovered it in 2002 and it helped me play a LOT better, and it completely turned around my view of how to play and teach the trumpet.

Another tuba player

Today I am going to play with an other tuba player. this is very exciting, since the only tuba player I played with in my trio, is Daniel Herskedal. I don't know the other guy personally, his name is Patrick Votrian, and he seems to be a very good player. He also lives very close to where I live. I am very curious, will see this evening. We play a few pieces of our Lochs/Balthaus/Herskedal CD and we do some standards together with Simone Honijk, so it will be a bit of a jam, which is always nice if there are good musicians around.
I will keep you updated.
