I'd always wanted to get those Boy Edgar LPs on Artone but never scored 'em. Thanks, as always, for posting info about the current Dutch jazz scene. It's always good to know there's more than ICP/WBK out there!

The VPRO/Boy Edgar award was named after the famous Dutch big band leader Boy Edgar. These LPs are indeed hard to find, even in Holland. I don't know if there are any reissues on CD.

The CDs with Bert van den Brink and Jesse van Ruller are more easily to obtain, even for foreigners ( thanks to web shop )
