Ekseption
was a Dutch rock band active from 1967 to 1989, playing
mostly-instrumental progressive rock and classical rock. The central
character in the changing roster, and the only band member present on
every album, was conservatory-trained trumpeter Rein van den Broek (10
September 1945 - 11 May 2015). The band saw some commercial success in
the 1970s, having Dutch top ten hit singles with their adaptations of
Beethoven's "Fifth" and Bach's "Air". The second album, Beggar Julia's
Time Trip (1969), won the Dutch Edison Award for album of the year, and
the first five albums all went gold.
Ekseption grew out of the
high-school band The Jokers, which van den Broek formed in 1958. They
changed their name to The Incrowd (after the Ramsey Lewis song) before
discovering that name was already taken. Finally they settled on the
name Ekseption in 1967. The group played jazz, pop and R&B covers,
but in 1969, shortly after keyboardist Rick van der Linden joined, they
were impressed by a gig of The Nice, and van der Linden decided to
concentrate on producing classical rock, modern re-interpretations of
classical works for rock band. Most of their subsequent albums contain
both original songs and re-interpreted classical pieces.
It quickly
became evident that van der Linden had assumed leadership of the group,
and in a 1972 press release interview accompanying advance copies of the
album Ekseption 5 he openly said so. After 1973's Trinity album he was
asked to leave the group by his bandmates, and in the fall of that year
he formed a new group Trace, during which time he was replaced by Dutch
keyboardist Hans Jansen. Jansen took Ekseption in a jazzier direction,
with two LPs of original compositions, but lackluster sales caused the
band to break up in 1976. An offshoot band, named Spin, formed later
that year and released two more albums, but success also eluded them. In
1978 Trace and Spin merged to become Ekseption once again. Periodic
reunions (with new members) appeared until van der Linden's death in
2006.
