Tijn is zo’n muzikant die met zijn spel en charisma direct de aandacht trekt. Zoals u de grote jazzlegendes kent, zo brengt Tijn hun tijdloze werken tot leven, met een frisse en energieke touch. Met swingende klassiekers als Take the A-Train en All of Me brengt hij die authentieke jazzsfeer die u kent van de iconische jazzplaten.
Not only musically, but also visually Tijn knows how to perfectly capture the atmosphere of jazz. With his fresh looks and stylish suits – completely in the classic jazz style – he masters every performance and you imagine yourself in an atmospheric jazz club from the golden age of swing.
Unique line-up of vocals and guitar
With the support of his classical jazz guitar, Tijn knows how to accompany himself in an unparalleled swinging way. This gives a truly unique touch to the performance and a very stylish and swinging execution!
An artist with international allure
Tijn is currently one of the most sought-after Dutch jazz artists and has performed in France, the United Kingdom, Germany, the United States, South Africa, Japan, and many other countries. His charming performances and virtuoso playing make him a rising star on the international jazz scene.
Varied repertoire
In addition to his love for traditional jazz standards, Tijn effortlessly switches to more modern work, with influences from artists such as Jamie Cullum and Gregory Porter. This makes him not only the ideal musician for an authentic jazz evening, but also for events where a contemporary twist is desired.
Known from TikTok
Met meer dan 25.000 volgers op TikTok en een virale hit met het nummer Can’t Take My Eyes Off You (meer dan 4 miljoen views en 800.000 likes), heeft Tijn bewezen dat jazz ook in de digitale wereld springlevend is. Via sociale media bereikt hij een jong en enthousiast publiek, waardoor hij jazz naar een nieuwe generatie brengt.
At which line-ups can Tijn be booked?
Tijn speelt zelf gitaar en zingt daarbij, en komt het best tot zijn recht in een dynamische jazzsetting, zoals met ons Allround Jazz Trio. Voor extra variatie en een authentieke jazzsound is uitbreiding met een saxofonist mogelijk. Voor intiemere gelegenheden, zoals een sfeervol diner of een kleinschalig event, is hij ook te boeken in een duo van piano en gitaar-bezetting.
With his sparkling energy, captivating play and stylish appearance, Tijn Trommelen knows how to make every performance an unforgettable experience. You and your guests will be impressed, guaranteed!

Faqs
Can you perform outside?
Absolutely! There is nothing better than a great jazz band at your garden party or wedding reception. Business receptions are also often held outdoors in the summer. We are happy to perform outdoors. It is important that we are sheltered from the sun and wind, and that the temperature is pleasant – preferably around 20 degrees.
Is a stage necessary?
A stage is not strictly necessary. For larger groups (more than 100 people) we recommend providing a small elevation. This way the musicians are more visible to the audience. After all, a jazz band contributes not only musically, but also visually to the atmosphere of the event - so it is nice if we are clearly visible.
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.
Waar komen jullie vandaan?
De professionele musici van de Jazz Centrale wonen verspreid over het hele land, waardoor wij in heel Nederland en België én daarbuiten flexibel inzetbaar zijn. Daarom kunnen we ook optreden in Noordrijn-Westfalen, Luxemburg en het noorden van Frankrijk. De reiskosten blijven daarbij relatief beperkt en hebben slechts een kleine invloed op het tarief. Musici zijn immers gewend om te reizen. Zo geniet u van live jazzmuziek van topkwaliteit, waar dan ook!
