Cécé Live jazz with warm vocals and saxophone. Stylish, relaxed, never too loud.

We love playing at all sorts of events but informal gigs are our favourite.

We started out decades ago on one of the Dutch Wadden Islands, where many of the band members lived at the time. We simply loved making music together, playing everything from Dixieland to mainstream jazz. After moving to the Dutch mainland, we brought new musicians together and became CéCé.

Diana Krall, Chet Baker, Astrud Gilberto, Ayo, Gregory Porter, Norah Jones, Sade, Melody Gardot, Jamie Cullum, Ella Fitzgerald.

CéCé is the perfect choice for events where live music should add atmosphere without dominating the occasion. We perform stylish, accessible jazz and jazzy pop at a comfortable volume, creating a relaxed setting for conversation and enjoyment.

From informal afternoon gatherings to dinners, receptions, festivals and cultural events, we adapt to the audience and the occasion.

We're not a traditional party or dance band. Our strength lies in creating a warm, engaging musical atmosphere, with professional musicianship, flexibility and genuine interaction with the audience.

CéCé is booked by venues and organisers who appreciate our music and approach. We’re especially at home at:
- (Sunday) afternoon gatherings — conversation, drinks and snacks, with our music adding to the atmosphere
- Dinners, receptions, anniversaries and business events that call for live music
- Jazz dinners that bring together good food and good music
- Small festivals, unexpected locations and cultural events
- Other occasions — just get in touch and we’ll talk through the possibilities

Setup time: 90 minutes. We usually play one, two or three sets of around 45 minutes each, depending on your wishes. We’re happy to adjust the format in consultation with you.

No problem, provided there is shelter from the rain, such as a canopy or tent, if needed to protect our electrical equipment.

We don’t take song requests, but we’re happy to discuss the structure of our sets with you in advance.

Lovely music at a comfortable volume, a flexible setup, warm interaction with the audience, a well-paced performance and a refined presence that suits the occasion.
