Eduard de Vries

Eduard de Vries, raised in Holland by Dutch parents, found his love for playing saxophone at the age of 12. Working as a paper delivery boy he earned his first alto saxophone and started ‘jammin’ da Funk’ with friends in local storage units. Later, when he began his professional career, he appeared on international World Music Festivals with a variety of Moroccan bands such as Kasba and Sheb Douzi. His mission is to tell beautiful stories in a bebop-way no one does!
