Line-up
Recommended line-up
Recommended format
At our wedding we wanted to offer ourselves and the guests a great performance. And when we think about it now, we can only praise it. The clear agreements in advance already gave us a confidence-inspiring impression as far as the organization is concerned. "De Jazz Centrale" fulfills its promises, also musically. Everything neatly arranged on time. The boys of the orchestra, neatly dressed in suits, that also gave a special appearance during the performance. The music sessions during the festive meal were well received (also by non-jazz fanatics). A live performance provides a cozy atmosphere. The evening performance with Eline was a highlight. With her beautiful voice she has brought a beautiful interpretation of our request number. It was not a bland decoction of Nina Simone but for us a real goosebumps moment. The half hour of the extension of the performance was also filled with enthusiasm. Our guests and ourselves really enjoyed it. Even the waitstaff and the manager were impressed. For those who want a special atmosphere at their party/reception...a great recommendation!

Wedding
Very danceable!
My daughter turned 18 and I 60. That was a reason to party! We had a great venue in the city centre of Leiden near the Hooglandse Kerk, the Branderij. We were expecting our close friends, family and colleagues. Now for music: I had listened to Eline before. Her voice complemented by musicians Nick, Han and Mark: the night could not fail. The reaction of all our guests was the same: perfect music. During the first session, a few people dared to go on the dance floor. Later in the evening the dance floor was full!

Listen
Really important! Listen to our demos with headphones or good speakers!
Small speakers such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop can not possibly display the deep rich sound of the beautiful double bass, sousaphone or tuba. That is why it is so important to listen with headphones or good speakers!
Be careful: risk of rhythmic moving!
Turn your phone to landscape to hear the music in stereo!

A whole lot of experience and presence
When you add a singer like Eline to the jazz band of your preference, we can nicely step out of the background and really make it a wonderful party. With her huge stage experience, her stunning looks and her engaging communication with the audience, Eline takes you and your guests on a musical journey along the coasts of South America, via the black gospel churches to the smoky jazz clubs of the years '40 and '50.
Diverse and groovy repertoire
Eline's repertoire is characterized by a high level of swing and groovyness! Authentic rhythm & blues style, spiced up with a steaming sauce of the best afro cuban jazz, gives the music rhythm, danceability and a huge drive. If the situation requires it, we can go all out during the performance and definately get the audience dancing.

All our vocalists come out best with the swinging line-up of our Allround Piano Trio.

Very skilled
On the occasion of my farewell party I invited "De Jazz Centrale" to provide the musical accompaniment. This was done very skillfully. The guests were very pleased with singer Eline and the band.

Nicely adapted to the public
A very successful dinner on the occasion of our 25 anniversary, partly thanks to "De Jazz Centrale" and Eline. Highly recommended! What an enthusiasm! The genre of music they played was nicely adapted to the audience, and also the volume was very pleasant.
