Vintage vocalist + swing band
A great choice
For a grand dinner with "Great Gatsby" theme we were looking for a suitable musical setting. We found that at the Jazz Centrale . After clear consultation and advice, we decided to book singer Mylene and five musicians. A great choice! Mylene and her group have a limitless range of songs, sense the mood and occasions well, and can handle anything. From ambient music to creating a party, in this case a "Great Gatsby party", they are up for it. Mylene and the accompanying artists are all top-notch musicians and easily adjust to the situations. Great for hosts and hostesses because they take care of everything themselves. A superb, enjoyable and exceptional musical backdrop for all guests. The Jazz Central can do much more, anything is possible, looking forward to the next party!

Music invited to dance
The roaring twenties evening of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra with the screening of the film The Artist was framed by the authentic sounding Jazz Band. The music invited to dance. It became a stylish conclusion to a stylish evening.

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!
