Daan Herweg Quartet

A dose of pop and hip-hop, a strong love of free improvisation and classical music, and a distinctive sound that puts melody first: that’s what Daan Herweg brings to In Search of the Lost Chord, the pianist’s second album in over a decade.

Of course, the follow-up to his 2014 debut Lucid Musings had been planned much earlier, but his busy schedule as a sideman and composer for various major acts (Caro Emerald, Pete Philly, Teus Nobel and Henk Kraaijeveld) delayed the process. He co-wrote #1 hits and played on the biggest stages, but the urge for another record as a bandleader remained: In Search of the Lost Chord is the answer. Influenced but not limited by his experiences – great and not so great – of the past 10 years, and strengthened by an insatiable hunger for new music, Daan has broken all the boundaries of the jazz genre on In Search of the Lost Chord, earning him rave reviews worldwide as ‘an ambassador for Dutch mainstream jazz’.
