The incredible Trio Fuhler/Bennink/De Joode play the Bimhuis tonight. 

These eccentric musicians lead the way in the Dutch improv scene. Cor Fuhler provides musical guidelines with piano, treating its strings with various things such as springs and magnets. He also plays self-made instruments, such as the keyolin, a keyboard-controlled violin. Adroit musical response comes from the most adventurous drummer in The Netherlands, Han Bennink, and Wilbert de Joode, who wields his acoustic bass like a lead instrument. ‘There are dashes of wry humor and madcap frenzy, but it always seems to proceed with structural logic… masterful interplay’.
