It has already been a quite succesful year for drummer Haye Jellema from The Netherlands. The fairly new but even more experienced artist on the firmament finished his Master degree at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and was directly appointed as teacher in Jazz technique at the very same institute.

Besides these activities other interesting oblications take up most of his time. Since august this year he is drummer in de band of Dutch Idol finalist Hind. But also is he still the bandleader and drummer of the band of singer/show host Kim-Lian and did he just finish recording three tracks of the new album of Marike Jager.
Marike won \'Grote Prijs van Nederland\' in 2003 in the category ‘singer-songwriter’, the major contest for new upcomming artists in The Netherlands. The titels Haye plays on are:
- Fling flack toodah!
- Bittersweet
- Remember
Despite of his teaching and his work with loads of other bands and musicians (amongst others: the Rotterdam Jazz Orchestra and Ellen ten Damme) we will hear lots of him in the comming future. Which should be logical considering the fact he took lessons from some of the greatest artists of the moment; Terri Lyne Carrington, Marcel Serierse, Lucas van Merwijk and Gerhard Jeltes.
