Young VIP tour. 11th edition. Every year a tour with young talents is organized along the important venues in Holland. The initiative is from the Union of venues presenting jazz– and improvised music. VIP. The concept is: · Art directors from the venues propose names of young musicians deserving more attention. · A committee (I’m sitting in for 3 years now) decides which one gets the offer to participate in a tour. · A second group, winner of the Dutch Jazz Competition, is added in the program. In this way a double bill is composed. MCN (Music Centre Netherlands) organizes the tour.
In 2009 two inventive bands were selected: The Black Napkins The Blazin’ Quartet
The tour started May 16 in Groningen. On May 19 the project was presented in Arnhem in De Mahlerei. Here my photo report.
