'Plunge!' shows a big difference on the artistic level compared to the previous productions. Plunge! has an open mindedness and an optimistic but serious vibe. Next time Captain Hook should make a hit tune, like 'Rooftop' (Hooked Up). They can do it! (P.J. Korten, Jazzflits, 2011)
Captain Hook is a funk jazz quintet from the Netherlands. They play high-energy grooves with catchy melodies and freaky improvisations. 70's-fender rhodes sounds go together with nu-beats, heavy guitar riffs and bebopish saxophone licks. Captain Hook delivers a cool now-a-days mix of dansable jazz and exciting soundscapes.
The five bandmembers of Captain Hook are clearly acquainted with each other and have no fear in going musical sideways: from a pulsating Headhunters-groove via a dreamy ballad to a tension-filled samba.
