Iman Spaargaren, know as frontman of Captain Hook, Thelonious4 and the European Union Quartet, has played at VPRO's 'Vrije Geluiden', NTR's 'Mijke's Middag', NPS' 'Weekend Winfried' and at festivals such as North Sea Jazzfestival and Manchester Jazzfestival and at jazzclubs such as BIMhuis. Iman is an internationally very active musician; the last couple of years he did tours in the UK, Ireland, Belgium, Germany and Finland.
Iman's saxophone playing catches the ear with his very personal and lyrical tone and inventive use of rhythm. His arrangements for septet make one think of the works of Amina Figarova en Wayne Shorter.
