Preacher, Politician, Patriot

On this album (also available as LP – expected February) frontman Efraïm Trujillo introduces the Blueshorn - an Eb saxophone that has been especially created to reach – or in this case: preach - a bluesy, southern swampy jazz sound. Trujillo studied the subject intensely and got mastered for that at the Amsterdam Conservatory. Quite a trio, for Rob Mostert plays the pedals of his B3 organ with bare feet, the music literally comes from his toes, and drummer Chris Strik was praised in Slagwerkkrant as 'the most agile drummer in the Netherlands'. And they won an Edison (Dutch Grammy) for their album Blue in 2019. With a 20+ dates tour coming up these Preacher Men certainly deserve a loud “Hallelujah”!
