Besides my yearly tour through Curaçao (Wet&Wild, Bluebay, MOOD, Cabana) I play a lot in Holland and Europe, also with various DJ's (dance parties, private/corporate parties).
As a saxophonist I appear on the CD of the ex-keyboard player of the world famous band 'the Who'. I also made my own CD with my band which played with TOTO and Snowy White and with which I did the support act of the American top-fusion act "the Yellow Jackets"
My repertoire is very broad. From old jazz to the newest dance music: Candy Dulfer, Throttle, Belt& Wezol, Oliver Heldens, Earth Wind and Fire, Ed Sheeran, Sarah Vaughan, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Ben Webster, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder...etc etc.

Jan is a nice guy to make arrangements with and of course a fantastic saxophonist. This short gig went 100% as agreed.

Jan is a super friendly guy. He played great and our guests loved him too! He even went on a little longer because he enjoyed it so much himself. Really mega satisfied. We will definitely book him again.

Onwijs leuke aanvulling van onze dag! Super vriendelijk en onwijs goed! 10000% een aanrader!

Wat een fantastisch optreden van Jan de saxefonist, DJ Tresor en de percussionist. De zaal ging letterlijk uit zijn dak. Het was letterlijk het gouden randje op onze mooie huwelijksdag.

, Stephany
The act was fine. The music was good, exactly as expected. The contact beforehand was correct. A neat, nice man.
, Jeroen
Jan played from the ceremony to the place of the food so there was no silence. He brought a very good atmosphere and a relaxed vibe. The guests really liked it. The music Jan chose was a perfect fit.

Jan is an atmosphere maker for the very young guests as well as the adults swinging on the dance floor.
, Tomas
We enjoyed it!
, Ylonka Lemmers
We thoroughly enjoyed the wonderful music by Jan & Tresor. Definitely worth repeating!
, Renée en Stein Kanters
Jan helped create a fantastic atmosphere at our wedding with his beats. We agreed in advance which music style we preferred, the contact with Jan was very pleasant. During the act he played perfectly to the audience. Only positive reactions!
, Daan Hagemeier
I think I speak for our entire party when I say it was a great success! Therefore, on behalf of all of us, I want to thank Jan tremendously for the great addition to this evening. For anyone who loves a party, but also for music during dinner, Jan is the right place for both. Highly recommended for anyone who loves the sounds of the saxophone. Jan thanks and hopefully until next time.
, Marike Fokker
We enjoyed Jan in combination with a DJ and a percussionist. He makes great music and mixes among the guests. He makes it a very nice interactive show! We enjoyed!
June 2023, Edith
What a great evening we had with DJ Delafresco, trumpeter Thomas Wessels and saxophonist Jan van Oord! Really fantastic, almost impossible to describe so cool. Three pros with a super feeling for people, entourage and wishes. All three picked (from different sources) for their own specific style and inspiring performance. For our party it was the golden combo. The evening, upon arrival of all guests, loungie built up with DJ Dalafresco and Thomas Wessels. Thomas and DJ Delafresco, having played together before, are perfectly matched. This allows Thomas to go completely free throughout the crowd, giving everyone from front to back, yet even outside (which made for a very nice picture at sunset) a piece of his performance. Lounge and funk, super cool! Later in the evening, Jan van Oord took over with his funky sax sound. Jan and DJ Delafresco had never played together before, but for both of them I believe this was not the last time. A brief tune-up beforehand was enough for them to make it a blast night. Almost everyone was on the dance floor the whole evening, the "roof went off", exactly as we had hoped in advance. Jan also had lots and super fun interaction with the dancing audience. The accompanying technique and lighting were perfectly taken care of by Erwin Bakkum. It's that we don't throw parties like this every year, otherwise they would definitely be back soon. But maybe we will meet them, individually or together, at another party, because so many guests asked for all three of them at our place, that says something!
, Elvira
Both gentlemen did a fantastic job. We had good contact with each other beforehand. We know where to find them for a next time as well. Thank you!
, Nadja
Fine contact with Jan prior to the performance. He likes to think along, is flexible and keeps his appointments. The performance itself was also a success! Very nice addition / surprise to our party with DJ. It was a success and definitely recommended!
, FESPA Nederland Association
Jan unfortunately did not show up. I spoke to him by phone and it turned out to be unfortunate in the confirmation. Agreed with Jan that the amount will be refunded to our account
, JWJ
Super party from relaxed to uptempo incl. 'Karaoke' sing along. Jan senses atmosphere well and takes the floor or leaves it with the partygoers, totally OK.
, Anne den Harder
Jan is very friendly and the communication is very pleasant. Jan played saxophone beautifully at our company party and exactly as we wished. During dinner a bit quieter and at a pleasant volume. Later in the evening together with the DJ a bit more up-tempo. We enjoyed the music!
, Lesley Daris
From the moment I came into contact with Jan, the cooperation was very pleasant. Jan is very thoughtful and finds it just as important as the organizer that the event is a success. The wonderful saxophone sounds provide a nice summer atmosphere. Highly recommended!
, Edwin
It's nice to hear your guests say afterwards that they enjoyed the party and that the saxophonist set the mood.
, Wim
The coordination with Jan before and during the evening was very pleasant. The music was meant to be supportive and was also performed in that way. Good for conversation and dancing as we hoped.
, Ils
Perfect cohesion of music and entertainment. Great background music! Great dance party afterwards with the DJ
, hdn
Fine people, fine music!!! Highly recommended!!!
, Lucia
Jan gives an extra touch to your party with his saxophone! People feel more invited to come to the dance floor and party. The atmosphere is set firmly with a saxophonist / DJ combination! Jan also thinks along well with finding a DJ. Very satisfied! Really a must!
, vivian
Everything was super well organized! He was standing next to the entrance. We wanted people to be in the mood right away when they walked in. The atmosphere was good right away. Jan really had a chemistry with the audience. He did it very well!

We can look back on a beautiful and pleasant day organized for the residents of Symphony. It was a beautiful sunny day in June where the residents could sit outside with a delicious barbecue and a cozy get-together. After the barbecue there was a pleasant get-together with musical support from Jan van Oort. Jan entertained the residents with his cozy music on his saxophone where the residents made a dance and had a lot of fun among themselves. Thank you Jan for your contribution, the residents enjoyed your performance.
, Jessica Goldstein
Jan is a true musician and entertainer. He plays every song retegoed and with passion. He certainly gives something extra to the party. Our guests and we enjoyed ourselves. @Jan, thanks again! also for thinking along in the entrance of us as bridal couple, really cool! Greetings Rik and Jessica

Hello Jan, What a pleasure to listen to those beautiful sounds of your saxophone. This was exactly what we needed in this confusing, difficult corona time. Lovely to listen to the many famous songs from the time of the residents but also of the employees.

We enjoyed the music by Jan van Oort! He came pleasantly on time so that he could set himself up properly. He had the background music with him and because of his music the mood was in as soon as the guests came in. Very special.! He adapted his choice of music and sound well to the people around him and it made it all our party! Highly recommended
, Stef L.
Jan played at my grandmother's funeral. He provided the ambiance she deserved. Beautiful music, which not only reflected the ceremony but also our emotions. Jan, thank you for your contribution to a funeral that meant a lot to me!

Great performance. Jan felt the atmosphere well and tuned the music to it. Everything we agreed in advance Jan fulfilled. So highly recommended.

We had Jan and DJ at our Dealer Show. Jan knows how to create the right atmosphere, and is interactive with the attendees. It is also important that Jan communicates well and keeps his appointments. We can only recommend Jan for every event.

We celebrated our 10 year marriage in Ibiza style. Well that worked out with Jan. We had a super party with lots of compliments for the successful theme?

Thanks to the swinging music of a top artist and the nice interaction with the guests everyone enjoyed the party and Jan could get everyone on the dancefloor! Top evening, for which thank you Jan!
, Matt&Ils
Jan took care of the musical interpretation at our wedding, we look back on this with a very good feeling! We really appreciate the way he filled in our evening, with an eye for the company he knew exactly how to play the right music, which created a wonderful lounge atmosphere. We got a lot of nice reactions on this! We had nice contact beforehand to coordinate our wishes. Jan is a professional who from the first moment gave us the feeling that it was all right. Thank you Jan, and keep up the good work!

It was a great performance at the Smaakmarkt in Wijk aan Zee, where Jan van Oort and his swinging Sax got everyone dancing all over the square, in front of and behind the stalls, to people who went crazy. Many thanks, next year again !
, marleen
Jan and Tresor were really great! Fine men, easy communication to arrange everything. Our guests loved it too! Definitely recommended!

Jan van Oort is a great saxophonist! In combination with the DJ and singer they gave us a great day. We couldn't have wished for better. We will always hire Jan van Oort for all our business/private events. Thanks Jan!
, User
We enjoyed the performance of saxophonist Jan. He performed with his own playlist, during our Ibiza garden party. The beautiful saxophone sounds gave the evening even more shine We had discussed our wishes well in advance. He responded quickly to our messages and thought along well. Nice to work with and we look back on a wonderful party evening.
, User
Jan's performance was very successful! We and the guests at our wedding enjoyed it. When Jan started to play, the atmosphere was good right away. Definitely worth repeating!
, User
The performance was expected and created a festive atmosphere during our company party
, User
A very relaxed performance which has contributed to a very pleasant get-together for my 60th birthday. A saxophonist who knows how to steal hearts inconspicuously with beautiful songs.
, Menno
Jan and dre gave the DJ a great evening! Building up the dj set up was done within half an hour and the show that was turned down after that went very smoothly with top music and high quality! All in all Jan made it a beautiful and unforgettable evening!
, User
We hired Jan van Oort to perform during the lustrum gala of our study association. We could not have wished for a better saxophonist, he played along to the music of the DJ and gave a lot of atmosphere! Also on songs he didn't know he could improvise very well and he made a party out of it! We had such a good time that we finally asked him to perform another half hour longer. I can recommend it to everyone to hire Jan as saxophonist at your party!
, Marlies
and makes a difference on every party. He is a dear friend and a great soul and his paintings are wonderful too (via Facebook)
, Lian
Jan gave a fantastic performance. He managed to get the atmosphere right and was, for us very nice, "inconspicuously" present.
, User
We delivered songs to Jan, and he played them fantastic at our wedding during the reception at the waterfront. He also played his own rehearsal in the same genre and atmosphere. Because Jan played in the background of our reception, the guests enjoyed themselves very well. I can recommend Jan to everyone, he comes well on time and keeps his appointments very well.
, Yvon
Jan was very professional and got everyone dancing. He quickly made contact with the guests but did not do this too emphatically. He responded smoothly to the audience and what was going on around him. It was a fantastic party!
, TJ
Jan is at home in all music markets. In addition, he is pleasant and flexible in his contact. "it's your party, so say it." He thinks it's important that the guests have a good time. Contributes to a cozy atmosphere and moves between the guests. Anticipates requests. Also on the youth present by playing along with the "not" musical actions of the regionally popular KAFKE All in all a successful party, good music, nice weather and a beautiful location.
, Rini
On November 4, 2017 in the Drommedaris in Enkhuizen during our 40 years together. Jan gave us a great evening. Jan had already neatly prepared his things that we arrived. Jan feels good how the atmosphere is and responds to that. Every now and then the feet off the floor and then a bit slow again. Everyone was full of praise about Jan and the guests had never seen a Saxophonist before at a party like this that makes it even more fun. It was also a surprise for most people we were able to keep it pretty quiet. Jan is also a very nice person, flexible, friendly and quiet. (via Facebook)

On September 23rd 2017 Jan made a fantastic contribution to our wedding day at Groot Warnsborn in Arnhem. During the ceremony he accompanied several songs beautifully and afterwards during the drink he created a fantastic atmosphere. Jan is a breed artist, but also very flexible and very pleasant in the contact (via Facebook)
, Eric
"On August 5, 2017, after 30 years of marriage, we have again made our wedding vows to each other. And Jan played during our party. After having made the first contact with Jan van Oort we immediately got a nice and good feeling. We discussed a few things by phone about the genre to be played, the location, time and the budget to be spent. On our wedding day we didn't have to arrange anything at all. He set everything up silently and when we entered the room it was partying from the first minute until the last minute. We and our guests were completely happy, there was even dancing. Jan thank you very much for your musical entertainment. We really enjoyed it." (via Facebook)
