EUROPEAN JAZZ STAGE "We have put together a very special show to demonstrate the diversity on the Dutch jazz scene. From a band which stands firmly in the bebop tradition - the Martijn van Iterson-Ilja Reijngoud Quartet - to a band that explores freer forms of jazz, featuring Dutch trumpet talent Eric Vloeimans and celebrated cellist Ernst Reijseger."

From that we switch to the danceable Latin-flavored soul jazz of the New Cool Collective, then we finish off with the contemporary, impressionistic vibes of the Wolfert Brederode Quartet.
A flat out treat from the Dutch lowlands.
