Erik van Lier has played in what feels like every major Big Band in Europe. The bass trombonist began his career with the Dutch Skymasters, became known for his work with the Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland Big Band and later played in Peter Herbolzheimer's Rhythm Combination and Brass. For this concert, he will use his wealth of experience to fine-tune the students of our MA Big Band!
