Ten days ago I went to Laren Jazz 2010 a Jazzfestival that I enjoyed very much. We went with a small group of people first having diner in a nearby restaurant. Lucky enough the temperature was good enough to sit outside and also enjoy the sunshine while eating.
Inside theatre Singer was the first preformance from
Madeline Bell & FriendsMadeline Bell has a impressive Soulfull sound, and the enthousiasic
Louis van Dijk on piano made a spectacular combination. Louis van Dijk also - some years ago - played a long time with two other excellent piano players, Pim Jacobs and Pieter van Volenhoven. The last one an actual member of the Dutch Royal Family! So you can imagine that the combination Madeline Bell and Louis van Dijk and also all of the other Friends on all the other instruments all top musicians that can perform some impressive Music Magic!
The next performance was from
Caro Emerald (also see:
older post)
This performance was on a Big stage in a Huge Garden Tent, in the big garden behind the theatre giving room to more people than in the theatre! This also was an excellent performance and a lot of people could sing along since a lot of people know the songs from the radio and have the CD. Caro Emarald recently has been nominated for 3
Edison Awards!, and her Album titled:
'Deleted scenes from the cuttingroom floor' Has been on nr. 1 even longer than Michael Jackson!!!Besides those two Highlights, I also have seen several other excellent performances that are Highlights of their own all very high quality so you can imagine that
it has been a whole evening -
and even a little of the early morging - or Magical Music!
