Ugly White Belly

Ugly White Belly was formed in 1992 by saxophonist Rolf Delfos and pianist Erwin Hoorweg.
Rolf & Erwin wanted to expand their musical horizon by mixing jazz and pop.
In bassist Boudewijn Lucas and guitarist Tjeerd van Zanen they found the right musicians for this journey.
After auditioning multiple drummers, Sjoerd van Bommel joined forces.
The collaboration resulted in “South of No North”, Ugly White Belly’s first album.
This album secured their place in the Dutch nouveau jazz scene and resulted in concerts and radio performances throughout Holland..
In 1995 Sjoerd van Bommel left the band and was replaced by Chris Strik, an up and coming jazz fusion drummer.
With Chris they recorded their second album ”Binc”. Which resulted in extensive touring.
Although the band ended in 1997, they’ve left a mark on the “electronic jazz/pop landscape in the Netherlands.
All the members of Ugly White Belly are still active in the Dutch music scene.
