Erwin Raymond Java (Assen, 1956[1]) is a Dutch guitarist, active since the 1970s, and a music teacher.
Biography
[edit | edit source]Java got his first guitar, a Fender Stratocaster, from his father when he was a teenager.[2] After attending the gymnasium in Assen, he studied Dutch language and literature at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. Later he attained a degree in music, majoring in guitar, from the Prince Claus Conservatoire.[1]
One of his first bands was White Honey, from 1978 to 1981, where he played with Hanneke Kappen. When that band stopped, he joined Herman Brood's Wild Romance (1980–1981),[3][1] and in 1986 joined Cuby and the Blizzards,[4] a band headed by singer Harry Muskee, for whom Java was a chauffeur for a quarter of a century.[5] Java also plays as a session musician and produces music,[1] and has recorded with and done production for Marjol Flore, Splitsing, Gina de Wit, Bertus Borgers, Daniel Sahuleka, Kaz Lux, and Tineke Schoemaker.
In 1996 he co-founded the Noorder Muziek Instituut in Groningen, a professional private music school, where he also taught guitar.[1]
