Fourteen-year-old saxophone player Tadjiro Velzel has his future all planned. Currently he is combining school with the Junior Jazz College of the Conservatorium van Amsterdam. After that, he would like to go to New York and study at the Manhattan School of Music. His motto is: to play in as many places as he can. Today... it is here, in Amsterdam!
As in the pas years, the Amsterdam North Sea Jazz Club is kind enough to ‘lend’ us its famed house band The Fresh Cuts. We are delighted to host them again at the Grachtenfestival. The Fresh Cuts are Alexander van Popta, piano; Bas van der Wal, guitar; Hugo den Oudsten, bass and Salle de Jonge, drums.
The band usually performs with renowned artists like Ruben Hein, Benjamin Herman, Sabrina Starke and many others. During The Grachtenfestival Amsterdam however, the accomplished musicians of the Fresh Cuts will invite ‘the jazz talent of the future’ onto their stage, to come and jam, swing, experiment and improvise.
