Doyle Bramhall II

Throughout his 75-minute set at the 2017 North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam, Doyle Bramhall II performs with the intensity of a musician on a mission. This was a pivotal period for the Texas-raised guitarist, with the release of “Rich Man” in 2016 ending a 15-year drought between albums of his own. He devotes this performance to the record, conquering a crowd that seems politely hesitant at the beginning but that turns rapturous by the end.
