New Cool Collective is a Dutch musical ensemble founded in 1993, core members are Benjamin Herman (sax), Joost Kroon (drums), Frank van Dok (percussion), Willem Friede (keyboard / arranger), Jos de Haas (percussion), Leslie Lopez (bass) and David Rockefeller (trumpet).[1]
They also perform in a 19-piece big band line-up; the New Cool Collective Big Band consists of two alto saxophones, two tenor saxophones, a baritone saxophone and bass saxophone, four trumpets, three trombones and bass trombone, guitar, fender rhodes, percussion, congas, drums and vocals.[2]
In 2000 they won the Edison Jazz Award, the most prestigious music award of the Netherlands. In 2013 the band won a Golden Calf award on the Dutch Film Festival for the music they made for the Dutch movie Toegetakeld door de liefde, in which they also have a cameo as a fictional band. The music of that movie is recorded on their album Chin Chin.
New Cool Collective went on to collaborate with Guus Meeuwis on 2014's Hollandse Meesters (cover-versions of Dutch evergreens) and with Mark Reilly from Matt Bianco on 2015's The Things You Love-EP. Both were followed with parts 1 and 2 of Electric Monkey Sessions.
In 2018 the band received another Edison Award.
