New video: Venus Tunes Live XL @ Jazz in Duketown 2023
Early Christmas present: Here it is, the full-length concert of Venus Tunes Live XL on the mainstage of Jazz in Duketown. Featuring SaraLee Vos and Zosja El Rhazi (vocals), Katya Gabeli (dj/violin), Annick Sickinghe (percussion) and Susanne Alt (dj/saxophone).
This video illustrates how well we fit on a big festival stage and also how to end a festival on a Saturday night. All of this with a all-female line-up playing own compositions like "Susie Saxophone", Elixir", "Open Up" and more in the blend with music we adapted and made it our own. People can dance, there's participation and it adds another facet to a jazz festival. This is also a form of jazz: A crossover of jazz and dance (disco, deep house and house). Book us here
Before we start with all adventures around the new album DARK HORSE, let's stand still for a second and look back to the events of 2025...For me it was a busy and buzzing year with lots of different & exciting stuff going on and more that I could wish for. I am truly grateful and humbled. Thank you, dear people and agencies who continue to want to work with me, thank you, dear concert audiences, music lovers, dear friends&family, new acquaintances, and also extra thanks to my own body who lets me do all this! I decided to put a reel together with some of the activities on stage to give you an impression. If your activity together with me is not there, it doesn't mean I didn't like it but maybe there was no video evidence. There were even more off stage activities, therefore multiple shoutouts to: ArtEZ in Arnhem where I am teaching with a lot of joy, and these organisations/boards I am involved with and who contribute to our arts/music/jazz eco system: De Creatieve Coalitie, Bimpro.nl, VCTN, Kunstenbond Platformacct, Concertzender, BumaStemra, Stichting Brein. I wish you a happy and healthy new year and hope to see you again soon! P.s. Let's meet on 16th of January at Bimhuis! We will play the premiere of my new album DARK HORSE and there are still some tickets left. - Early Christmas present: Here it is, the full-length concert of Venus Tunes Live XL on the mainstage of Jazz in Duketown.
