Warmly recommended

This is the second time I am organizing a company party with life music from “ "Jazz Centrale" " The first it was a Jazz quartet with Bossa Nova singer Agnes and this time it was a Jazz quartet with Jazz Singer SaraLee. Both were equally great. Warmly recommended not only for quality of the music but also for the smoothness of the organization.

Above expectations!

Communication went smoothly from the first contact.The Jazz centrale understood exactly what we had in mind for our party and thought about the evening. The final implementation was above expectations! Pianist played fantastic on our own piano, drummer and double bass played great together, singer sang flawlessly.

Listen


Really very important! Listen to our demos with headphones or good speakers!

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! 

Note: chance of competing!

Draai uw telefoon naar liggend om de muziek in stereo te horen!

Information

Diva pur sang

SaraLee is zo'n zeldzame zangeres die zich op het podium een ware diva toont. Zoals u de jazzklassiekers van de grootheden kent, zo hoort u ze van Sarelee. Met swingers als "Fly me to the moon" en "Take the A-train" zet ze elk optreden een klassieke jazzsfeer neer die u zo goed kent van de LP's en CD's, waarop grootheden als Billie Holiday en Ella Fitzgerald hun finest hour kennen. Speciaal geschikt voor uw Great Gatsby party!

Especially for Roaring 20's and Great Gatsby parties

Organiseert u een feest in het thema van de Roaring 20's en The Great Gatsby? Dan past een jazzband met SaraLee daar zeer goed bij! We spelen zowel vintage jazz, als ook wat meer eigentijdse swing en grooves waardoor we gedurende het optreden een prachtige opbouw in de muziek kunnen aanbrengen. Op die manier worden uw gasten meegenomen in de vintage swing stijl, en kunnen zij ook dansen op wat bekendere stijlen. Succes gegarandeerd!

Varied repertoire

Naast het overbekende repertoire van de oude meesters, heeft SaraLee een aansprekend repertoire van nieuwere artiesten in de stijl van bijvoorbeeld Amy Winehouse, Erykah Badu en Bill Withers: een fantastisch playlist om uw feest of event dat in eerste instantie wat traditioneler begint, te kunnen omtoveren tot swingend geheel van jazz, soul en groovy popliedjes.

SaraLee is een van de meest gevraagde Nederlandse jazz-zangeressen en heeft een schat aan ervaring. Met haar enthousiaste en opgewekte uitstraling weet ze elk optreden tot een onvergetelijke belevenis te maken. U en uw gasten zullen buitengewoon onder de indruk zijn van een jazzband waarvan SaraLee deel uitmaakt!

At which line-ups can SaraLee be booked?

Al onze vocalisten komen het beste tot hun recht met de swingende bezetting van ons Allround Piano Trio

Voor nog meer variatie en die échte jazz sound kunt u deze bezetting ook uitbreiden met saxofoon:

 Voor kleine of intieme situaties (bijvoorbeeld een diner voor 30 man), zou u ook kunnen overwegen om SaraLee te boeken bij ons Allround Piano Duo.

Super successful party

We had a very nice and relaxing evening with "De Jazz Centrale", many of the guests gave compliments about the band and the choice of music. What I especially liked is the website where everything is explained very clearly and to which you can respond. Also the response back was very smooth. The people of the band themselves very friendly and everything together has contributed to a super successful party. Thanks!

Business event

Excellent!

If you want to create some spontaneity and fun at your event, and you enjoy listening to a classy assembly of jazz musicians then “De Jazz Centrale��� is the band for you. Changing their tempo from slow ballads to up-beat tempo they create a wonderful atmosphere ranging from dreamy listening to feet-stomping rhythms. They recently appeared before 450 guests at the Stainless Steel World gala dinner in Lanaken, Belgium, 30th and their up-market enthusiasm and excellent musicianship soon had guests on their feet dancing and enjoying the wonderful ambiance and sounds they create.
