11-05-08José James @ Tivoli, 08-05-2008Try to imagine hip hop with jazz, you've got José James. So unsurprisingly his concert at Tivoli was popular for the young crowd in the Netherlands. He was friendly too, especially to people who want to take pictures during the show, as long as they are not placing bad pictures of him on Facebook. Read more...

16-03-08Michael Borstlap @ SJU Jazz Podium, 15-03-2008The organizer of the Utrecht Jazz Festival was certainly saving the best for last. As the most anticipated concert of this 5 days festival, Michael Borstlap, supported by Boudewijn Lucas (bass guitar), Erik Kooger (drums) and Sanne van Hek (trumpet), is one of the biggest names that confirmed the quality of what is widely called by media as the Dutch Jazz Festival.

15-03-08Bernie’s Lounge @ SJU Jazz Podium, 14-03-2008Three words to describe the concert: fun, fun, fun. What an energetic performance it was. You could dance along, they are dancing along. And that's what Bernie's Lounge offered last night for the Utrecht Jazz Festival. Read more...

15-03-08Brötzmann McPhee Kessler Zerang @ SJU Jazz Podium, 14-03-2008Coming all the way from Chicago, the quartet delivered a soulful performance on the third day of the Utrecht Jazz Festival. Their composition sounds somehow blues to me. Sometimes it seemed they don't belong together but certainly right on. So you can certainly enjoyed the powerful solo and improvised collaboration.

09-03-08Erdmann 3000 @ SJU Jazz Podium, 08-03-2008Having been around in the jazz scene for years, a long applause for Erdmann 3000 was not an exaggerated gesture. Since they have delivered an energetic and inspiring performance of a postmodern jazz, where the experimental trip of Daniel Erdmann (saxophone tenor), Frank Möbus (guitar), Joannes Fink (bas), and John Schröder (drum) was truly enjoyable Read more...

24-02-08Sensuàl @ SJU Jazz Podium, 23-02-2008It was indeed a warm winter night, but it felt like a hot summer at the SJU Jazz Podium, where the audience was amused by the Brazillian jazz music played by Sensuàl, which is not just another jazz band from Utrecht. This band consists of Eva Kieboom (singer/songwriter), Emiel van Rijthoven (keyboard/componist), Gijs Anders van Straalen (percussion), Sven Happel (bass), and Jasper van Hulten (drums). Established in 2003, so far the band has released two CDs; Acústico in the 2004 and Salve in 2008. Read more...

12-02-08Kim Hoorweg & the Missionary 5 @ Winkel van Sinkel, 10-02-2008Kim Hoorweg is only 15 years old, yet she already performed at the biggest jazz event of the country last year, the North Sea Jazz Festival. She might not have the voice of Norah Jones nor Nina Simone, but she indeed has all that jazz. Thus, it wasn't a surprise that her free concert with the Missionary 5 last Sunday was very popular.

11-02-08Young Sinatras @ Mammoni, 10-02-2008I knew that I will be sold with anything involving a bunch of men in black suits, and so was I with the Young Sinatras yesterday. I warn you ladies, this band consists of 10 beautiful men, three with trumpets, three with saxophones, one pianist, one drummer, one bassist with an Elvis’ hair style, and not to mention a singer with a soulful voice.
