Classic jazz trio, featuring piano + double bass + jazz guitar, in the vein of the renowned Oscar Peterson and Herb Ellis jazz trio from the '50. Superb swing, ideal for dancing and a volume that can be adjusted to the occasion. Definitely one of our most requested line-ups! And the piano? We simply bring it along.

Listen


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

Small speakers such as those from a smartphone, tablet or laptop cannot possibly reproduce the deep, rich sound of the beautiful double bass, sousaphone or tuba. That's why it's so important to listen with headphones or good speakers! 

Note: chance of competing!

The most beautiful instruments in jazz

Dit fantastisch swingende jazz trio is een uitstekende keuze als u prachtige live muziek zoekt, die niet te hard mag zijn maar toch een heerlijke sfeer kan creëren. 

This jazz trio consists of the most beautiful instruments of jazz: the wonderful piano, the majestic double bass and the rhythmic jazz guitar. Together they form a jazz trio with a beautiful full timbre, rhythmic swing and a cheerful repertoire.

Cheerful swinging repertoire

Of het nu gaat om een chique zakelijk evenement, een klein feestje thuis of een sfeervolle borrel op uw bruiloft, overal kan deze compacte bezetting ingezet worden en een ultieme sfeer van jazz creëeren. 

Het repertoire van dit heerlijke jazz trio bestaat uit de swingende zoals u die kent van Oscar Peterson, Teddy Wilson, Errol Garner en vele anderen uit de jaren '30, 40 en '50. Het zijn altijd vrolijke liedjes, veelal uptempo en met een knipoog naar de populaire hot club de france — dat komt natuurlijk door de karakteristieke rol van de (slag)gitaar.

Vooral het klassiekere swingrepertoire komt dankzij de ritmische begeleiding van de jazzgitaar zeer goed tot zijn recht, maar tevens laveren de musici moeiteloos tussen de latere bossa nova, cool jazz en moderne smooth jazz.

Well adjustable volume

Dit jazz trio is voor vele situaties inzetbaar omdat het volume zowel omhoog als omlaag uitstekend is aan te passen. Dat komt omdat alle instrumenten aan een versterker verbonden zijn, maar die kan uiteraard ook op heel laag niveau worden gezet.

Compact size

Dit jazztrio neemt relatief weinig ruimte in en is daarom erg geschikt voor kleinere locaties. Als u dit jazz trio wenst te boeken, dient u ongeveer 2 bij 3 vierkante meter ruimte beschikbaar te hebben. Hiermee is dit jazztrio bij uitstek geschikt voor bijvoorbeeld optredens bij u thuis of kleinschalige diners, waarbij ondanks de bescheiden afmetingen dansen gewenst is. 

Heeft u trouwens al op instagram gekeken voor inspiratie?

Suitable for performances in the open air

Voor een optreden in de open lucht is dit ook een erg geschikte bezetting, omdat alle instrumenten eenvoudig versterkt kunnen worden. Zo kunnen we het volume goed aanpassen, hetgeen bij outdoor-optredens vaak noodzakelijk is. Uiteraard nemen wij alle noodzakelijke apparatuur, instrumenten en versterking zelf mee. 

Dit jazztrio inhuren bij de Jazz Centrale betekent dat u kiest voor de 100% professionele musici, de beste kwaliteit en volledige zekerheid.

Fine and swinging music

We want to thank you again for the excellent and swinging music that you played. Everyone enjoyed it and some even ventured on the dance floor !! That is worth a compliment, given the hesitations people made earlier in the evening .. (I'm too old, I can't dance, etc.) So: fantastic job! You were right: the music is an important factor for atmosphere. We will absolutely recommend you when somebody is looking for good music!

Wedding anniversary

Great background music

Great background music on an informal drink! Despite the difficult acoustics in the available space, the music came into its own! You also set up very quickly. Bravo!

Business event

Perfect music

My daughter became 18 and I 60. That had to be celebrated! We already had a nice location in the city centre of Leiden at the Hooglandse Kerk, the Branderij. We were expecting our good friends, family and colleagues. We only had to find the right band: I had heard singer Eline before. Her voice complemented with musicians Nick, Han and Mark made the evening perfect. The reaction of all our guests was the same: perfect music. At the first session, a few guests went to the dance floor. In the end, the dance floor was full. Thanks!

Impressed by the professionalism

I booked a trio for a wedding reception at my house in Bruxelles. From the first contact I was impressed by the professionalism of the Jazz Centrale. My confidence in them was not disappointed. From the first contact where they gave advice on the best musical line-up, to the sms announcing that they were on their way, to the professional approach, setting up, entertaining and packing. that it would be high quality. I can only give them my highest recommendations.
