Jasper van 't Hof
Jasper van 't Hof (born 30 June 1947)[1] is a Dutch jazz pianist and keyboard player.
Van 't Hof was born in
jazz rock band Association P.C.,[1] with German guitarist Toto Blanke. As part of Piano Conclave he played with pianists George Gruntz, Joachim Kühn, Wolfgang Dauner, and Keith Jarrett
.
In 1974, he founded Pork Pie and teamed up with
Angelique Kidjo. He played keyboards with Archie Shepp,[1]
although he is best known for his solo piano playing.
For All About Jazz, John Kelman wrote: "Transitory's high point is the two-part title track. Orchestral in scope despite limited instrumentation, Van't Hof's strength as a textural player, comfortably blending impressionistic writing with freer concerns, is in full force."[2]
