In the nursery of Eric Lensink there was an old piano. His bed stood next to it; the pillow was leaning against the piano. No wonder that the piano sounds he heard on the radio were also suspected somewhere in that instrument; soon every day there was tried to bring the old closet to life. "I remember that my father always played the first bars of Beethoven's Mondschein sonata, with slightly too strong basses, and that's what I wanted, because my parents listened to the radio during the day, always classical music. They were both very fond of Chopin. At parties, however, records of jazz pianists such as Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum were set up, according to my mother, 'nerve music'. I still know whole solos by heart. "
Through fun four-handed play with his father and the lessons of Laska Meseck, Kemal Ultanur, Harry Vooren and Feico de Leeuw, his play develops towards the 'light music': jazz, salon music, nightclub repertoire. Work was found at ballet schools, in restaurants and clubs. However, there was hardly any talk of a career at that time. In addition to the piano work, (bass) guitar was also played and composed in various bands, resulting in a Silver Harp from the Conamus foundation (1995) for his former band Vitalis. Since 2000 he runs a sound studio together with partner Jeroen Tenty, where mainly commissioned and produced.
Through the accompaniment work, vocalists also started to arouse his interest; his taste varies from 'The Velvet Mist' Mel Tormé to the kitsch by Dean Martin. Another such shock of recognition was the vocals of trumpet player Chet Baker. "He sings as he plays, not overly technically, but lyrical, velvety, honest, with almost no vibrato, a tremendous power of expression". He is also touched by more nostalgic sounds: "I can shamelessly dream away in the crackling sounds of Vera Lynn or Al Bowley.Collected by that BBC series 'The Singing Detective', which I saw on TV in the 80s."
It can not stop: Eric starts to sing more and more. The repertoire indeed varies from nostalgia to swing. "It feels like everything is starting to fall into place, sometimes even after 44. Moreover, Harry Connick Jr. almost never comes to the Netherlands, so I take the honors for as long as I can, so I have my own big band!" (Translated from Dutch.)
