I copped my solos from horn players. I don't listen to keyboard players. I can't get what I want from keyboard players.

Jurriaan Leijen in action
|
For people like me, that is, people living a bit north of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, there are opportunities coming up for having a great jazz weekend between Friday 25 March and Sunday 27 March. First there is a small but very cozy jazz festival named "Slagkracht" or "Jazztival" of which I am not sure. Anyway it is held in Provadja, Alkmaar. On Friday and Sunday there is a total of 5 Hammond jazz gigs on this festival which I list below:
- Friday, March 25, 20:45, Cantaloupe
- Huib Folmer - Sopranosax
- Ronald de Rochemont - Bass
- Christiaan Seemann - Hammond organ
- Bram de Visser - Drums
- Friday, March 25, 23:45, Juicy Organism
- Ab Dekker - Drums
- Jurriaan Leijen - Hammondorgan
- Ton Mulders - Guitar
- Dick Remelink - Tenorsax
- Frank Stolwijk - Tenorsax
- Sunday, March 27, 15:45, New Morning
- Tim Eijmaal - Guitar
- Lex Geerlings - Basgitaar
- Maarten Helsloot - Hammond organ
- Jeroen Vrolijk - Drums
- Sunday, March 27, 17:45, The fabulous Jets
- Freek Kroon - Drums
- Elvis Sergo - Hammondorgan
- Wouter Wierda - Sopranosax
- Sunday, March 27, 21:45, Wild Hunt
- Erik H. Blok - Trombone
- Sebastiaan Cornelissen - Drums
- Elvis Sergo - Hammond organ
- Jaap Winder - Altsax
Refer to the festivals website for a complete program. On Saturday there's an interesting line up also, but nope, no organ jazz. If you are really dissapointed by that you could consider going to Middelie - drifting away from Amsterfam even a bit further - to listen to Rob Mostert. He just returned from the USA for recording a session with Rudy van Gelder who is responsible for innumerable Hammond jazz recordings. Anyhow, no complaining about a lack of things to do. Enjoy !
