He is considered a major figure in contemporary jazz piano, recognized for both technical virtuosity and emotional depth.

Rotterdam Ahoy is a multipurpose indoor arena located in Rotterdam, South Holland. Opened in 1971, it has undergone several renovations and expansions. Originally designed primarily for sailing events – hosting numerous international sailing championships and serving as the finish location for several editions of the Whitbread Round the World Race – it has evolved into a prominent venue for concerts, exhibitions, and sporting events. The venue features flexible space configurations capable of accommodating audiences ranging from several thousand to over 10,000 depending on the event setup. Its architectural design incorporates a distinctive dome structure and has become a recognizable landmark within the city's skyline. It remains one of the largest event spaces in the Netherlands.
