From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dutch Violinist Tim Kliphuis (b. 1974) first became known in 1999 when he joined Belgian gypsy guitar legend, Fapy Lafertin. Kliphuis toured Europe with Lafertin's Quintet and featured on three cds before deciding on a solo career in 2004. He was classically trained at the Amsterdam Conservatoire and plays in the style of jazz violinist Stéphane Grappelli. Other influences include saxophonist Stan Getz and guitarist Joe Pass. Kliphuis combines a classical tone with hot swing timing. An internationally touring musician, he has recorded with Angelo Debarre and performed with Martin Taylor, Stochelo Rosenberg, Bob Wilber and Herb Geller.
