A few weeks ago, more than 20 musicians living in the Netherlands were performing on this festival tour by Banyan Tree Events, the Word Jazz Festival. It was organised as a tour through several Indian cities. I've learned recently that Bangalore is officially named Bengaluru and Bombay is Mumbai. There were also shows in other cities but I flew stratight to Bengaluru and performed acoustic jazz; a few tunes from my new album and as you can see also made people dance together with Zosja as Venus Tunes Live.
Here's a little compilation of some of the concerts in these cities. These musicians were performing here: Alexander Beets, Rolf Delfos, Lucas Santana, Ellister van der Molen, Susanne Alt, Zosja El Rhazi, Anna Serierse, Lizzy Ossevoort, Baer Traa, Sebastiaan van Bavel, Timothy Banchet, Davor Stehlik, Marius Beets, Matheus Nicolaiewsky, Tim Hennekes and Sven Rozier. Robert Glass joined me for filming and tour management. Please fill me in if I forgot you! Special thanks to Banyan Tree for inviting us and Alexander Beets and Sven Rozier for putting the program together and coordinating our travels!
This is a tune called Kalunga Dance, from my latest album Dark Horse, order it here or buy it at a concert, the next one is Brebl, Nijmegen 1 day after my birthday on 16th of April! Hope to see you there!In this performance, we featured percussionist/vocalist and world citizen Helene Jank. She lived and worked in Brazil for quite a while and I really think it's audible here. I love the way she and the band creates this moment of space within the concert and this is also why - I think - visiting concerts is important because then you get to experience the whole context of the concert. How is the program build up, how does the audience respond and what does music makes you feel. More info:Susanne Alt: sax, Matthijs Geerts and Ike van Bergen: keys, Thomas Pol: bass, Yoràn Vroom: drums, Helene Jank: percussion Performed at 16th of January 2026 at Bimhuis, Amsterdam, Recorded by Onno Prillwitz Filmed by Robert Glass and Albert Nooij. - A few weeks ago, more than 20 musicians living in the Netherlands were performing on this festival tour by Banyan Tree Events, the Word Jazz Festival.
