Bye-ya!
BIOGRAPHY
Need a jolt, feel like dancing? Or just assurance the state of Latin Jazz is Alive and well?"
(Jim Josselyn, ALL ABOUT JAZZ, about Bye-Ya!)
Bye-Ya! was founded by Jens Kerkhoff and Mick Paauwe in the beginning of 1999 with the idea to create a new combination of latin-music and jazz. The interaction and openness of jazz are mixed and integrated with exciting and swinging Latin-American and Afro-Cuban grooves. Complex harmonic accompaniment and exciting rhythms build up the basic for beautiful melodies and inspired improvisations – this is the formula of Bye-Ya!
Bye-Ya! is not just a project or pickup group assembled for a recording, it’s a band! A band that consists of the total of five different backgrounds, nationalities, characters, creative visions and musical evolutions which
Together make up the unique sound of Bye-Ya!
Bye-Ya! is Latin jazz at it's best – more than a mix between these two styles, it is interaction and reaction between latin music and jazz.

Bye-ya! neemt nooit genoegen met het eenrichtingsverkeer van de salsa. Het paart Latijnse vormen als guaguanco, cha cha, bolero aan verrassende harmonieën en spetterende solo's. AS - Trouw - Feb 2010
Bye-ya! will never settle down for one-way salsa. It is a combination of the Latin forms as Guaguancó, cha cha, bolero with surprising harmonies and dazzling solos. AS - Trouw - February 2010
Het Nederlandse latin-jazz quintet Bye-Ya! bestaat op hun derde album 'Futher Arrivals' uit Brian Lynch (USA, trompet), Randal Corsen (piano), Mick Paauwe (babybass), Jens Kerkhof (percussie) en Enrique Firpi (drums).
Het is altijd erg spannend en uitdagend voor een band om een nieuw album op te nemen met een andere line-up en nog steeds dezelfde sound te behouden. Al na enkele minuten wordt duidelijk dat de nieuwe setup prima de unieke Bye-ya! sound kan behouden, latin jazz met een zware nadruk op jazz. Latin magazine - Mei 2010
The Dutch Latin-jazz quintet Bye-Ya! consists on their third album 'Futher Arrivals' of Brian Lynch (USA, trumpet), Randal Corsen (piano), Mick Paauwe (baby bass), Jens Cemetery (percussion) and drummer Enrique Firpi (drums).
It is always very exciting and challenging for a band to record a new album with a different line-up and still maintain the same sound. After a few minutes it becomes clear that the new setup perfectly keeps the unique Bye-ya! sound, Latin jazz with a heavy emphasis on jazz. Latin Magazine - May 2010
