Everything was exactly as we wanted it and as we had discussed.
It was great—we had a good discussion, and Kars understood exactly what we wanted: a performance for an intimate gathering. Quiet but cozy background music.
Thanks, Kars and Frans, for your performance! CLASSY!
We said yes to the jazz

Passionate musicians who convey that passion to the guests!
A well-organized website with the option to listen to short samples of various styles.
Customer-focused follow-up with all contacts. The party featuring music by Jazz Centrale—piano, double bass, drums, and vocals—was fantastic!!
Many thanks, René

The Right Sound for Our Corporate Event
It was wonderful to have the musicians from Jazz Centrale at one of our corporate events. They were easy to work with and chose just the right music for every moment of the event. They provided background music, yet everyone could really enjoy their performance. Thank you.

I enjoyed an atmospheric jazz performance of the highest musical caliber.
For our 50th anniversary, we were looking for a stylish jazz band, and this allround Jazz Quartet more than lived up to our expectations. Communication leading up to the event was smooth and clear, which immediately put us at ease in the run-up to our event.
On the day of the event, the band members arrived at the Atomium well ahead of time—professional and well-prepared. Their performance, in their “classy” attire, was atmospheric and musically top-notch—exactly the right tone for this festive occasion. The music added an extra touch of class to the evening and was greatly appreciated by all our guests.
In short: reliable, professional, and above all, musically outstanding. Highly recommended for anyone looking for quality live jazz!

Such a great gift!!
Our mother is a jazz lover, so we gave her a jazz performance as a gift for her 90th birthday. It was fantastic, with Kars on piano and Hugo on bass. Our mother loved it, and so did we! We’re still savoring the memory!

Fantastic!
We booked the Jazzcentrale for our wedding, where they played several sets during the ceremony and dinner. Their notes were crystal clear, and the trio’s performance was fantastic. It was also really nice to see that whenever there was a solo, the other musicians visibly enjoyed it! They were very professional and a wonderful addition to the event.

That's how jazz should sound!
Jazz Centrale made our garden party unforgettable! It felt like we were on vacation with all our friends and family and had ended up at a jazz festival somewhere in a cozy, lit-up little square under the trees. First there was instrumental music, and later in the evening SaraLee joined in.
An unforgettable evening—I highly recommend letting these fantastic musicians enrich your evening.

This made our wedding perfect!
We invited De Jazz Centrale to play at our wedding. It was a huge hit! Not only did they play great music, but they also brought humor, interaction, and excellent communication!
Thanks, Kars!
Best, Maartje & Tom

Wonderfully cozy
We had asked the Jazz Centrale trio to perform during the reception for our annual celebration honoring long-serving employees and retirees. Their music definitely added to the atmosphere. They play wonderfully and have a delightful repertoire. We’d love to have them back!

Relaxing jazz and good vibes during drinks.
At our New Year's reception, the jazz band created just the right atmosphere.
Subtle swing, obvious enjoyment, and just loud enough to set the mood without having to shout over each other.
A delightful musical start to the new year.

Had a great night thanks to these guys
We decided at the last minute to book a jazz band. It was great that they were able to adapt so quickly. Communication was very pleasant and clear, and they suggested several different setups. We ultimately chose a “background” jazz trio, but they really turned it into a party. We received lots of compliments from the guests, and the atmosphere exceeded our expectations. The repertoire was perfectly tailored to the right moments. Pure professionalism!

Pleasant interaction
I had a pleasant and smooth interaction with Kars for a short performance. The music and playing were perfect. To be honest, it was a bit more expensive than other providers. I used the jazz band for a reception, so it was more for background music—which is actually a shame, given how wonderful their playing is!

Stunning!
Jazz Centrale perfectly understood the kind of atmosphere we were hoping to create—pleasant musical accompaniment that kept the energy just right throughout our afternoon wedding reception. Many of our guests have since told us how much they enjoyed their performance and how well it suited the occasion. They truly did a fantastic job!

The perfect music for a wonderfully beautiful evening!
Booking the band was absolutely hassle-free, and the preliminary discussions with Kars were very relaxed. At what was probably the hottest garden party ever—with temperatures nearing 40°C—the three musicians delivered a perfect performance. The guests—and above all, we as the hosts—were thrilled. Without us having to say a word, the band chose just the right music and kept us thoroughly entertained. We are absolutely thrilled and would book Jazz Centrale again in a heartbeat. Without the music, the evening wouldn’t have been nearly as successful.

A really wonderful experience
Jazz Centrale provided the music for the reception at our wedding. We have nothing but praise—from our initial contact right through to the music itself. Thanks to their professional approach, we didn’t have a single worry leading up to or during the big day. And even more importantly, they created a wonderful musical atmosphere for all our guests.
