Dutch term

zeldzaam geladen spel

Dutch to English Art/Literary Music
A set of CDs to commemorate 30 years of the North Sea Jazz Festival. This text is for the accompanying notes and this particular part is a description of the tracks on each CD. In the eighties the legendary Miles Davis became the face of the festival.

Hij had ook een sterke bezetting bij zich, met gitarist John Scofield, saxofonist Bob Berg, bassist Darryl Jones en drummer Al Foster. Het bluesy It Gets Better begint subtiel, maar loopt uit op **zeldzaam geladen spel** van zowel Davis, Berg als Scofield.

there are examples of "geladen" meaning "loaded" - it may even be copied from the English expression.

e.g. erotisch geladen
and also this one:
Solisten Pauline Post en Marijke van Koten schitterden hierin met uiterst verzorgd, geladen spel.
