notes
JP DEN TEX is an ‘Emotional Nomad’ wandering in a musical landscape between Americana and European music styles such as French Chanson.
JP (Jan-Piet) first noticeable musical adventure was in the early 70’s as a member of Tortilla, a legendary Dutch band whose music now would be described as alt.country. Famous author and music critic Jan Donkers wrote in underground magazine Aloha about their critically acclaimed and unfortunately only album ‘Little Heroes’: ' … a magnificent album, that I can recommend to everybody without the restrictive clause that this is a Dutch recording.'
In the 80’s den Tex recorded five critically acclaimed solo albums including the sublime and now much sought after ‘A Quiet Street in Paris’. His lyrics changed slowly from observations (mostly in the third person) into very personal short stories with the author himself being the main character. European musical elements were freely added and Spanish, French or Italian lyrics used. At the beginning of the 90’s JP den Tex interrupted his solo activities for participation in a band project called Les Gueux (CD ‘After Hours’ – 1992). In 1998 he finally released a new solo album ‘Emotional Nomads’ again. Painstakingly honest, that’s what I like to be writes JP in the CD booklet. And that’s very true. In fact so open, honest and emotional that it inspired movie director (and famous director Paul Verhoeven’s right hand man) Jindra Markus to produce a film documentary about JP den Tex and his musical comrades. A film that will be premiered early 2005, so more to follow… The ‘Emotional Nomads’ album was followed by ‘Hotel Yankee Tango’ (2000). And now by ‘La Jeune Fille Au Chewing Gum’, JP Den Tex’ first album for CoraZong Records.
