Ik heb genoten van jullie optreden in hotel Central in Den Bosch. Volle bak, leuke nummers: jazz standards (maar niet standaard) en fris nostalgisch swingwerk, onder meer van Nederlandse bodem. Geen gestunt of solistische krachtpatserij, maar goed gezongen (fijne stem heb je) en geïnstrumenteerd; lichtvoetig swingend met lekkere solo’s. Resultaat: super sfeer, relaxed genieten en stiekem een beetje meezingen
