Willem Breuker, 1944-2010, was a Dutch composer, musician and bandleader. He was a founding member, along with Misha Mengelberg and Han Bennink, of the Instant Composers Pool Orchestra in the late 1960's, and formed his 10-piece Kollektief in 1974. After his death in 2010, the Kollektief carried on until 2012, when they made their last tour, including a memorable show at the NAC's 4th Stage as part of the Ottawa Jazz Festival.
