Mardi Gras Jazzband

15:30 - 17:30

The Mardi Gras Jazzband goes way back: they have already played for over 40 years on national and international stages. Expect a hearty dose of ambience and the subdued phrasing of a slow blues. Their repertoire consists of lesser-known New Orleans Standards from the early 20th century, with occasional explorations into Ragtime, Blues and even Spirituals where they do not shy away from vocal work.

New Orleans Train Jazzband

18:00 - 20:00

Join us on a cosy train ride to New Orleans! While the of New Orleans as the common theme in the band’s repertoire, the New Orleans Train Jazzband also take us on a trip through swing. But be careful: the interaction between the orchestra, the band members and the audience can lead to the most unexpected situations.

The Whodads

20:30 - 23:00

Crafted from the finest Fender metal, Tijuana copper and worn Hammond wood, the Whodads perform their favourite instrumentals from the days when cars had fins. The legendary big band plays to dance with Filmnoirmusic rarely heard live, Surfjazz and greasy Mambo that sounds like a crossover between Link Wray and Perez Prado. Party!
