Trumpet player and singer Michael Varekamp was ten years old when he found a record in his father's closet: The Townhall Concert by Louis Armstrong. He puts it on and is immediately hooked. Ten years later he travels the world as a jazz trumpet player and Louis Armstrong connoisseur. He was a member of the Dutch Swing College Band for five years, received the Japanese 'Kobe Award' at the Breda Jazz Festival, played in Jazz at Lincoln Center, was a special guest in Kenny Ball's band and performed in a New Orleans programme together with Branford Marsalis.

The virtuoso pianist Harry Kanters from Breda is an absolute master when it comes to classic jazz, stride and swing. With his extensive repertoire Harry is a popular pianist with 'All Star' line-ups and a much sought-after guest soloist with many bands in various styles. Harry played a lot with top soloists like Leroy Jones, Dan Barrett, Rod Mason, Roy Williams, Warren Vaché, Jason Marsalis. He regularly receives invitations from Jazz festivals and Jazz musicians all over the world.
