Description
For over 55 years, Jan Akkerman has been one of Holland's most respected guitarists. In addition to his leading role in the globally acclaimed bands Focus and Brainbox, he has also worked with the likes of B.B. King, Charlie Byrd, Cozy Powell, Claus Ogerman and Ice-T. On his solo projects, Akkerman let his creativity run free, combining rock, jazz, blues, classical music and dance in his own distinctive style. As a celebration of his significant contribution to Dutch pop and guitar music, Jan received the Golden Harp Award in early 2005. He dedicated Holland's most prestigious music award to his loyal audience.
By the end of 2012 Akkerman was appointed Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau, a monumental, royal honour that acknowledged his contribution to Dutch music and his influence on musicians around the world.
Akkerman 80 celebrates Jan Akkerman's 80th birthday. A special anniversary compilation album, displaying the legacy of a singular and ground-breaking artist who has never done the same thing twice.
