With this quartet you are guaranteed to book a dynamic, upbeat and swinging performance.
The audience is taken to the atmosphere of the swinging thirties in New Orleans with hits from that era. The quartet plays songs by the likes of Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington on saxophone, trumpet, guitar double bass. But this band also has 2 singers because both the guitarist and double bassist sing themselves. Mostly in two voices, they sing songs known from Billie Holiday, Cab Calloway and Ella Fitzgerald, for example, "Puttin' on the Ritz," "Happy Feet" and "Exactly like you," "It don't mean a thing," "Take the A train" and "Saint Louis Blues.
It is impossible to sit still to the rousing live music of this band.
The virtuoso trumpeter Menno Daams and the lyrical saxophonist Ronald Jansen Heijtmajer master the style like no other.
Our performances usually last more than two and a half hours (receptions, festivals etc), then we play 3 sets of 35 minutes, the rest is intermission. But this is negotiable.
We bring our own professional sound set, which is included in the price.
Every year this band plays during the Red Light Jazz Festival on the Zeedijk in Amsterdam.
With compact equipment and batteries on wheels, we move easily between, for example, shoppers, markets or other areas.
The 4 members of this quartet have been playing together since 2018 as the house band
of café In 't Aepjen on the Zeedijk in the heart of Amsterdam.

, Bouwmaat
Very nice act, and very fine cooperation and communication. For our Roaring 20's gala we were looking for both soul/jazz and recognizable music. We succeeded, many people were singing along.
, Betty
Heard and seen at the Red Light Jazz Festival 2022 on the Zeedijk in Amsterdam .... what a nice music and what an atmosphere: swinging, dancing, enjoying .... The fun of the past is coming back
, Bart
Well-known evergreens are performed in a professional and very pleasant way. A delight for the middle and older generation. Good for an unforgettable moment. We can wholeheartedly recommend the quartet!
, Emiel
Four great musicians who together guarantee a swinging performance.
, Moritz
What a wonderful sound when you walk up the Zeedijk and hear the swinging music of the Ret Boot Quartet at the red Laars, that makes me very happy.
, Paul
What a nice band this is! Actually a kind of big band in miniature. And then with singing, very nice.
, Pieter
Nice danceable repertoire, even without pills and earplugs. No side effect! Come everyone!
, Joke
It's always a party wherever the Red Boot Quartet plays! Music that gives you energy.
, Ruud
just like everyone else, we really enjoyed the people, the atmosphere and the music on that well-occupied Zeedijk.
, Stefan
The Red Boot Quartet is a wonderful jazz quartet with great soloists who effortlessly take you to 80 and more years ago. The bass player and guitarist also sing some of the songs infectiously. In short, a feast for the ears and the eyes
, Golfclub Heelsum
It was nice music and a very flexible duo. Received many compliments. The elongated hall with people chatting and eating made it difficult to find the right volume, but that worked out well. (via Inge Klinge)

The performance of the music duo was very popular with our guests. Even afterwards we had many comments that the music was so much fun. (via Inge Klinge)
, Ruud & Michelle Lavrijssen
This duo closed our ceremony in a beautiful, cheerful way. They are a jolly duo and very flexible. Gives a really nice feel of its own and was a much appreciated addition to our wedding toast! In the background and at the same time pleasantly present. The guests regularly came to us with the question "where did you arrange such a nice band?" Nice is not it! (via Inge Klinge)
, Leonie
A colourful, musical interpretation for our 12.5 year wedding anniversary. Atmosphere makers through the wonderful music, the interaction with the guests and cheerful clothing. Communication with the Heebie Jeebies was very pleasant. Several party guests wondered where we had found this fun duo. Highly recommended for parties where people can enjoy this music and also want to understand each other during conversations. We are so glad we chose the Heebie Jeebies!!

Superb performances while walking from one place to another during the Street Party in Leeuwarden. Super fun and beautiful music by Duo Mrs Bass. (via Mrs Bass)
, Jansen
A nice, funny, nice music by nice and compassionate musicians. Nice couple that swings and sings well and has an excellent command of their instruments without dominating if that is desired.
, Mitta van Wetering
Duo Mrs Bass played swinging music in an appropriate tone and were very professional. We are very satisfied and would definitely recommend them! (via Mrs Bass)
, Anne-Marie Jansen
We enjoyed the musical accompaniment of our party during our Christmas drink yesterday afternoon. Thank you for this and happy holidays. (via Inge Klinge)
, Leon Haver
This band is a fantastic choice for a successful party. They have a broad repertoire for a wide audience, but they play it in their own recognizable style. At our party there was a diverse audience from teenagers to 70+ and everyone was enthusiastic about the music. The interplay is magnificent and the variety in lead vocals and repertoire keeps it captivating from start to finish. Suitable for background as well as swinging. Our choice for the next party has been made! (via Inge Klinge)
, Maaike Kolner
A band of top class and high level, creates a great relaxed but also cheerful atmosphere, nice and casual. Highly recommended for real music lovers from the 1920s and beyond! (via Inge Klinge)
