In the coming months, I'll be playing music with some of the finest musicians on planet earth! I'm not exaggerating.. A selection: Ben van Gelder/Reinier Baas ft. Jeff Ballard (19-9 Amsterdam & 9-11 Groningen) Tutu Puoane (Wrapped in Rhythm Tour) Brad Mehldau Quartet (Amsterdam, 28/29/30 October) Paul Lay Trio + Orchestre national Avignon-Provence (Rhapsody in Blue) Feenbrothers (6-12 Terneuzen) My singer-songwriter project Clemens Zebulon is also back on stage: tour dates.
My self produced singer-songwriter album Pop into Being is out on all digital platforms. I wrote all the songs, played all the instruments (except flute) and sung! One of the tracks features South-African singer Tutu Puoane.
I had the pleasure and honor of playing 2 concerts with the great Fred Hersch. We played music from his "Breath by Breath" album. August 15th 2022 we'll do it again at the Middelheim Jazz Festival in Antwerp! Line up: Fred Hersch – piano Clemens van der Feen – double bass Jonas Burgwinkel – drums Desguin String Quartet
I’ll be playing with the Brad Mehldau Quartet at the TRANSMISSION – TRANSITION FESTIVAL, featuring my long time friend Joris Roelofs and drum legend Jorge Rossy. This is a special one for me on many levels.

In the spring of 2020, amids shutdowns and the likes, I got together with the great Harmen Fraanje to record a duo album. Here is a little preview.
