Jazz Connection

Jazz Connection

“They are unbelievable… They are insane… and they are absolutely amazing live on stage. With their zoot-suits, flamboyance, large beers, cheap whiskey, dancing and swinging... They will Jive You Grazy!” Jazz Connection is a great follower of Jump Jive, Jump Blues and early Rhythm 'n Blues, which became extremely popular in the US about 50 years ago. With songs by Louis Prima, Wynonie Harris, King Curtis and Teddy Brannon, they bring a 'revival' of the best and most controversial stars from this turbulent period in jazz.

Founded in jazz city Breda, Jazz Connection has been swinging, stomping and splashing through Europe for 33 years (1990) with a well-oiled Jazz & Jive show. Many jazz festivals and clubs in the Netherlands now have a particularly fond memory of the band. She toured in Europe, including Belgium, England, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway, Bulgaria, Serbia, Russia and Poland, with trips to the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Together with a good dose of humor, the Jazz Connection collective creates a remarkable sound of its own: transparent, refined, catchy & groovy. Whether it is a swinging jive, steaming boogie or compelling blues, you will immediately recognize the sound of this unique sextet.

6 man formation with singing by the gentlemen.

Optional: singer Angela van Rijthoven.
