about

"[...]The Flying Deer spotlights the drummer's more rhythmic side; which in a way can only be said to be quite logical, given the personalities of the other members of the line-up: Wilbert de Joode and Tobias Delius, two long-time protagonists of the Dutch scene even if their names are not quite as familiar as those of the "school founders". I had already been very impressed by De Joode on record (and his recent solo album, Olo, is well worth a listen), but hearing his bass live in such different contexts as the Ab Baars Trio plus Roswell Rudd and the Henneman String Quartet during the 2001 Controindicazioni Festival in Rome made me really appreciate his value (it's apparent here, too - just give the bass control on your amplifier a little boost). [...] Tobias Delius offers his distinctive coupling of a very traditional timbre and a very modern musical vocabulary, where sometimes "cool" moments appear. Given the company, avoiding the temptation of sounding like a good Han Bennink impersonator is not always easy for van der Schyff - for instance, listen to the first track on the CD, A Good Idea, where the style is so typically "New Dutch Swing" (and where the instrument one is listening to is Michael Vatcher's!), or to the very fast brushes work of the title-track. But van der Schyff is a musician with an individual style - just listen to the cymbal colours at the beginning of Seven Day Itch or to the beginning of Bar Flies, where only percussions appear. But it's the trio as a whole that definitely impressed me, the interplay and exchange of ideas making one imagine of a much longer acquaintance. Delius is always concentrated, his instrumental language the result of a long distillation process, de Joode is always versatile - just listen to his "drumming" at the start of The Flying Deer or to the solo that starts Zaal 100 - a track that is a perfect microcosm of this record and of an aesthetical vision."
- Beppi Colli, Clouds and Clocks (2003)

I favour Fred Van Hove more when he plays with other musicians. Here he plays with two great bassists , who could be his sons. Ulrich Jonas
