New York Jazz Club brings the irresistible vibe of the Big Apple to Amsterdam!
Live: ISO Organ Trio, Tribute to Hank Mobley & Eugenia Serra Sings Sarah Vaughan
Amsterdam has a long history as one of the European capitals of Jazz, next to Paris, Copenhagen and London. Many American legends such as Chet Baker, Ben Webster or Johnny Griffin spent a significant amount of time in the Netherlands. Influenced and schooled by these grandmasters there is a whole generation of Dutch legends such as Rita Reys, Pim and his brother Ruud Jacobs, John Engels or Han Bennink that have been passing on the knowledge to future generations of jazz musicians. While not always very visible to the public eye, this music has always been very alive in Amsterdam.
ISO Organ Trio
Bertram Hasselager (Denmark) on guitar, Micah Graves (U.S) on organ and Max Sergeant (Netherlands) on drums merge their musical backgrounds into a new take on the classic organ trio format.
While primarily a jazz group, they like to bring in Funk and R&B elements, creating a thick, most infectious and utterly danceable groove.
Tribute to Hank Mobley
Can they drive a car yet? Probably not. Are they allowed to drink? Probably neither. Can they play? MOST DEFINITELY. These guys are the real young lions. If you haven’t heard of them yet, don’t worry, you will.
At only 16, bandleader Elmer Jacobs already is a regular at Amsterdam’s jam sessions, and he will be in very good company at The New York Jazz Club, with some of the Netherlands’ most exciting young jazz musicians.
The “Real Young Lions” will be paying tribute to one of Elmer’s heroes, the late great Hardbop Saxophonist Hank Mobley.
Eugenia Serra Sings Sarah Vaughan
It doesn’t happen very often that jazz musicians, early in their twenties, show up to a new city and upon a first listen manage to completely blow everybody away. For Valencian vocalist Eugenia Serra, this is quite the case. Combining the elegance of Sarah Vaughan with the melodic sophistication of Betty Carter and the soulful swagger of Etta Jones, she already sounds like a complete jazz singer, at only 23 years old.
She will be singing songs associated with the great Sarah Vaughan.
