Reissue with the latest 2014 DSD remastering. Comes with liner notes. Louis van Dijk, also spelled Louis van Dyke (born 27 November 1941 in Amsterdam, North Holland), is a Dutch pianist. He was educated as a classical piano-player and like so many other jazz musicans he became fascinated by the instrument in church. His father was sexton in the Prinsessekerk in Amsterdam. He studied at the Amsterdam Conservatory and became interested in jazz. For young jazz musicians the Loosdrecht festival was a usefull leg to success.

Louis van Dyke is not a pure jazz musician. Like so many musicans he couldn't find a living in playing jazz music only, so he accompanied great artistst like Astrud Gilberto, Coretta KIng, Salena Jones, Liesbeth List, Ann Burton and Herman van Veen. He became famous as the accompanist of Ramses Shaffy, a popular singer in the Netherlands. He often played duets with other piano players like Pim Jacobs, Daniel Wayenberg, Jules De Corte and Pieter van Vollenhoven, the jazz-piano-playing husband of Princess Margriet, the sister of our queen Beatrix.
