Photo of Dupa Trio - Retro Jazz Band Dupa Trio - Retro Jazz Band "Very professional, the evening was wonderful, I will definitely use their services again." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands (110 miles from Essen) 13th November 2026 Alvaro Rey De Viñas - Event Photo of Jazz Singer Saralee | Jazz Central Agency Jazz Singer Saralee | Jazz Central Agency "Beyond expectations! From the very first contact, communication was smooth. Jazz Centrale understood exactly what we envisioned for our party and offered thoughtful input for the evening. The final performance exceeded our expectations! The pianist played wonderfully on our own piano, the drummer and double bassist were perfectly in sync, and SaraLee sang flawlessly." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands (110 miles from Essen) 3rd December 2025 Alexandra Mes Verjaardag Photo of Traditional khmer music Traditional khmer music "Amazing, such a journey! His frequency is very high with performing music and explanations on how his journeys have started. He's like a flamenco guitarist but with his sitar. He brought his deep soul to his music. You might be in trance whilst listening to him and his instrument. Guru!" Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands (110 miles from Essen) Mohamed - Private event Photo of The Happy Feet Orchestra The Happy Feet Orchestra "Good band, nice repertoire and all music is danceable for Lindy Hop/Charleston. Always a fun party when they play. It really gives you happy feet." Based in Pijnacker, South Holland, Netherlands (117 miles from Essen) Anette Heijn - public dance Photo of Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet Marcia Bamberg Swing Quartet "What a fantastic performance after a wonderful day of workshops. I learned a lot and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Marcia sings beautifully and has a wonderful stage presence, really bringing the stories to life. Her voice and storytelling are beautifully supported by the incredibly talented musicians John, Ronald, Daniel and Christiaan, each of whom captivates the audience from beginning to end with wonderful solos and tight rhythm guitar playing. Wonderful music, a wonderful band, and it’s lovely to see how much fun you all have playing together. You’ve gained a new fan!"
