Captain Hook proudly presents their third album Plunge! Saturday the 2nd of July 2011 at de Melkweg in Amsterdam.

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.

In 2009, 2010 en 2011 the group played o.a. at a fully packed BIMhuis (Amsterdam), they performed at the Dutch national televisionprogramm VPRO's 'Vrije Geluiden' as well as at the radio programm NPS 'Weekend Winfried' and NTR Radio6 'Mijke's Middag.'
