Amsterdam’s HOT Jazz Club the Jazz Lobby! A great opening concert by guest artist(s) followed by an old school jam session. This is where the party is happening, so come and groove with us.

-Program:
20.30h Bar open for drinks 
20.45h Opening Concert at the Lobby by Honey Boulton
22h Jam session!

About the band:
Honey Boulton specialises in swing and bebop guitar, and has what is drescribed by Soweto Kinsch (of BBC 3) as “…a timelessly authentic sound” After recently returning to the UK from his hometown Wellington, New Zealand, he has become a solid proponent of the musical landscape that is the London jazz scene, performing at venues such as Ronnie Scott’s, Pizza Express Dean Street, The 100 Club, as well as regularly touring abroad, playing at clubs such as Duc De Lombards (Paris), and Unity Jazz Göteberg, and playing at international festivals, such as Festival Django Reinhardt. With a love of a wide breadth of styles and artists, he is able to play across the board stylistically, with a joy that is positively contagious.

Honey makes up one third of the Adrian Cox trio, and is a regular fixture in Giacomo Smith’s Hot Five, and has performed with many artists such as Joe Webb, Georgia Cecile, Snorre Kirk, Pete Horsfall, Deschanel Gordon and Laura Jurd.

Honey feels equally at home in a large ensemble as he does in a solo or accompanying vocalists in a duo setting (and everything in between), he is known for his sensitivity and empathetic playing style as well as his hard driving rhythm playing. As well as a performer Honey is also an avid composer, with a body of original works which are featured in his significant collection of recorded works, most notably his fourth album ‘Honey Plays Boulton’, which Jamie Cullum noted on BBC radio 2: “he’s just written so many good tunes on this record and they are played so beautifully … everything about this swings.”

-Costs: Donations for the band are very much appreciated!
Party: EUR 15 (in cash) at the door OR online click here.

Suited up and elegant is the suggested dress code 

“The Jazz Lobby” is situated in the unique monumental/art deco Kompaszaal, that used to be the waiting hall of the Dutch Kings Steam Shipping Company.
