Listen
Echt heel belangrijk! Beluister onze demo's met hoofdtelefoon of goede luidsprekers!
Kleine luidsprekers zoals van een smartphone, tablet of laptop kunnen onmogelijk de diepe rijke klank van de prachtige contrabas, sousafoon of tuba weergeven. Daarom is het zo belangrijk om met hoofdtelefoon of goede luidsprekers te luisteren!
Let op: kans op meeswingen!
Draai uw telefoon naar liggend om de muziek in stereo te horen!

Information
Swinging 4 -man dixieland band
Huur deze swingende dixieland band, bestaand uit 4 musici. Alle noodzakelijke ingrediënten zijn aanwezig. De majesteuze klank van de tuba (of sousafoon) begeleid trompet en trombone — twee karakteristieke koperinstrumenten die zo kenmerkend zijn voor die Dixieland-sound. Dit alles wordt smaakvol omlijst door de gitarist die dankzij een mobiele versterker toch uitstekend hoorbaar is.
Fully mobile
Just like all our other Dixieland bands, this 4 man formation is also completely mobile! Trumpet, trombone and sousaphone are mobile by definition, but even the guitarist is not bound to one place for power because his amplifier that runs on a mobile battery. A jazz guitar has a less old-fashioned character than the banjo and is more suitable for giving short solos.
Nothing can be more swinging
Ervaar de oorsprong van jazz met deze vrolijke dixieland band. Een weergaloos swingende vier-mans formatie die de meest swingende klassiekers ten gehore brengt zoals Oh When the Saints en tegelijk moeiteloos omschakelt naar melancholische ballads als Mood Indigo van Duke Ellington.
Old fashioned? Not at all!
Natuurlijk — er zijn talloze dixieland bandjes te vinden op internet. Allemaal met clowneske outfits, stroohoedjes en uniforme gilletjes. Maar u zoekt natuurlijk de stijlvolle variant — en die vindt u bij de Jazz Centrale.

Faqs
Kunnen jullie buiten optreden?
Jazeker! Niets is fijner dan een mooie jazz band bij uw tuinfeest of bruiloftsreceptie. Ook zakelijke recepties vinden in de zomer vaak buiten plaats. Wij treden met alle plezier in de buitenlucht op. Wel is het belangrijk dat we beschut staan tegen zon en wind, en dat de temperatuur aangenaam is – bij voorkeur rond de 20 graden.
Is een podium noodzakelijk?
Een podium is niet strikt noodzakelijk. Bij grotere gezelschappen (meer dan 100 personen) raden we aan om een kleine verhoging te voorzien. Zo zijn de musici beter zichtbaar voor het publiek. Een jazzband draagt immers niet alleen muzikaal, maar ook visueel bij aan de sfeer van het evenement — dan is het wel zo mooi als we goed in beeld zijn.
What is a typical playing time?
We are usually hired for a performance of 2 to 4 hours. The ideal playing time depends partly on the line-up of the band. As a rule of thumb, you can assume that the number of musicians is at least approximately equal to the number of hours of music needed. For a performance of about three hours, a trio for example, an excellent choice. Do you need music for a short moment, for example a performance of only an hour? Then a smaller one is often sufficient line-up, like a duo. If music is really needed for a long time, for example six hours, then it is also very nice to have a line-up of a live band for a few hours, followed by our vinyl DJ. Of course Kars would like advice you on what fits your occasion best!
What is your dress code?
To stay completely in the spirit of jazz, we always perform in stylish black suits with white shirts, complemented by a black tie or bow tie. It’s a subtle nod to the elegant 1950s – the era when jazz developed its iconic look. Even if you and your guests opt for a more casual dress code, our classic attire adds a touch of class to your event. After all, the musicians play a special role and deserve to stand out just a little. Of course, we’re happy to adapt our dress code to match your preferences – whether formal, festive, or relaxed.
Where in the country do you play?
The professional musicians of "De Jazz Centrale" are based throughout the country, which makes us highly flexible and available for performances across the Netherlands and Belgium – and beyond. We regularly perform in regions such as North Rhine-Westphalia, Luxembourg, and northern France. Travel costs remain relatively low and have only a minor impact on the total fee. This way, you can enjoy top-quality live jazz music, wherever your event takes place!
