I just talked with a good friend of Rick. He had attented the ceremony of the cremation's day, very impressive was the musical tribute Rick: on stage was Rick's coffin, surrounded by many known Dutch musicians like members from Ekseption, Max Werner from Kayak and even Jan Akkerman who was a very good friend of Rick. Jan delivered two inspired guitar soli on this unforgettable tribute. Rick his wife has received lots of e-mails from known musicians, including Phil Collins and Keith Emerson. And Paul McCartney even phoned Inez!

By the way, Musea is busy to put music from Trace on DVD!

So sorry to hear about the Rick. He was a truly great musician and an inspirational performer. Let's hope the possibility of a Trace DVD enables a new generation of fans to appreciate his unique talent.

Truly a huge loss. At the same time great interview I listen to my Trace and Ekseption albums quite frequently.

Good to hear from Canada, this was Rick his second homeland, as I remember he lived half the year in St Catherins near The Niagara Falls. And what a coincidence, I have stayed there too when we wanted to visit The Niagara Falls and were invited to stay one night by Canadian friends we met in Toronto.

I am looking forward to that Trace DVD and perhaps some live footage from early Ekseption that was last month on the Dutch tv as a tribute to Rick.

Two members of Ekseption died with a difference of  3 months. So sorry about that.

Cor Dekker: a great bass player.

Rick van der Linden:a great keyboard player, composer and arranger.

I`m going to remember Ekseption with good arrangements and playing to pieces of music like:

"Aria", "Siciliano in G", "Ave Maria", "Picadilly Sweet", etc.

                                    For all those fans of Dutch keyboard wizard Rick Van
                                        Der Linden, here's very good news:
 
 
Musea info:

In the late Sixties, EKSEPTION and Rick Van Der LINDEN were among the first musicians to create a blend of musical styles that went from classical music to pop and jazz. Extremely popular thanks to its instrumental covers of Ludwig Van BEETHOVEN ("The Fifth") and Aram KHATSATURJAN ("Sabre Dance"), the Dutch line-up was replaced by TRACE in the year 1974. This new band followed in the path taken by EKSEPTION, becoming thus a Progressive rock power-trio led by the keyboards of its virtuoso leader. A serious counterpart to EMERSON, LAKE & PALMER ! "An Ekseptional Trace" includes a previously unreleased live recording of TRACE in 1977, with Ian MOSLEY, future co-founder of MARILLION on drums. EKSEPTION is also honored there with a stage performance of the band's revival in 2003. Two historical documents that are a tribute to the unique talent of Rick Van Der LINDEN, who recently passed away...

I love EKSEPTION and TRACe and obvious RICK VAN DER LINDEN!
 
So this interview arrived right to my heart pierces it because Rick will excite me always with its music!
 
P.s.: without polemics... But... Why all the Keith Emerson's adepts surclasses Emerson... While it does not happen with other keyboards wizards?
