Loek van den Berg won the Edison in the newcomer category. For us, Loek is not a newcomer but already an established talent. In 2022 he presented his album during the Dutch Jazz Release Stages and again this year he played a beautifully arranged Wayfarer with the JazzOrchestra of the Concertgebouw.
