Keep on swinging!
With this duo you bring a unique atmosphere into your home. The dyed-in-the-wool musicians have a broad palette of songs and moods. From uptempo, to sensitive ballads, bossa novas and also pop songs from the 60s and 70s.
Singer/guitarist Klaas Fopma is a typical crooner. With his warm, relaxed voice, he brings lyrics to life. The repertoire of this swinging duo includes many songs by singers such as Frank Sinatra, Chet Baker and Nat King Cole. But also by Louis Prima, Michael Buble, Jamie Collum, Elvis Presly and Franky Valli, just to name a few.
You can choose from voice and guitar (Klaas) with double bass, or voice/guitar with a swinging jazz organ (takes up little space, but sounds
like a real Hammond organ,) Listen to the sound clips.
We provide an atmospheric, jazzy evening. Dream away to sensitive ballads about a lost love or get excited by upbeat up-tempo swing numbers.
Klaas started out as a jazz guitarist. He is also a successful photographer. With his band he recorded the CD 'Nobody else bus me' a few years ago.
Klaas also plays with bassist/singer Inge Klinge, The successful duo has been playing at festivals, corporate and private parties for years. And can also be booked on Showbird, see 'Inge Klinge Duo'.
A performance lasts basically 3x 35 minutes with breaks. If desired, we can of course adjust that. It is also possible to do a set completely instrumental (background) and then go 'loose' with swinging, danceable, vocal numbers.
The 'Klaas Fopma Jazz Crooners Duo' can also be booked as a trio or quartet. See also other act.

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

We had a great time. And so did the audience, for sure. Nothing but compliments.

Well-known evergreens are performed with skill and great warmth. A real treat for middle-aged and older audiences. It’s sure to be an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this quartet!
, Paul
What a great little band this is! It's actually kind of like a mini big band. And with vocals to boot, it's really fun.
, Pieter
A fun, danceable setlist—even without pills or earplugs. No side effects! Come one, come all!
, Ruud
Like everyone else, I really enjoyed the people, the atmosphere, and the music on the crowded Zeedijk

A top-notch, high-caliber band that creates a wonderfully relaxed yet cheerful atmosphere—nice and laid-back. Highly recommended for true music lovers in their 20s and older!
