The Cosmic Surf Club are a new music production team consisting of four musicians. They developed a unique way of working, they call it 'four Koks in the kitchen' ('Koks' is dutch for 'Cooks'), meaning everyone has equal say in deciding which tunes they produce and how to arrange, mix and master them. Zane Massey is a master saxophone player from Brooklyn New York. Being the son of trumpeter and composer Cal Massey, he is a great composer in his own right, his specialty is building unique song structures and arranging four-way close horn parts. Then there's Saskia Jonker, a great jazz singer with a warm and sultry voice, she specializes in vocal and string arrangements and the painstaking practice of fine tuning all the parameters of the mix and the master. Coen Aalberts is a creative jazz drummer, he has played with many big names in the international jazz scene. He's the one who breathes life into the rhythm arrangements. Finally, there's Maxim Baghuis, a piano virtuoso who knows all the ins and outs of a modern studio and loves to create special effects. The Cosmic Surf Club teamed up when they embarked on their first project 'The Cal Massey Songbook'.
