Sounds like vacation, feels like magic: Jazz @ H'ART is back. And not just like that - it's a party! Ten years of jazzy Sunday afternoons are celebrated with a lineup that sounds like a summer playlist with just that little bit extra. Think: bring a blanket, a drink, close your eyes and swing along to the mellow vibes of DJ Von Rosenthal. He mixes live grooves like no other and makes sure you effortlessly slip into the right mood.
On Sunday, June 22, the season will be kicked off by none other than Benjamin Herman. If there's one man who knows how to wake up jazz and audiences, it's him. Sax in hand, feet in the grass - it doesn't get any closer to the perfect summer start. Then young jazz heroes from the Conservatory of Amsterdam pass on the baton. On June 29 Ju Young Lee's dreamy vocals, followed by Joep Grotendorst's sax trio on July 6, Yana Uspenkaya's warm vocals on July 13 and concluding with Victor Bøsling's surprising harmonica on July 20.
The setting? The lush courtyard garden of the H'ART Museum - the former Hermitage - on the Amstel River. A green oasis in the middle of the city, where history meets contemporary cool. Doors open at 14:30, music starts at 15:00. And be on time: first come, first served.
"Sultry jazz, warm sunshine, good people - sometimes life is simply perfect."
For a bargain price of €7.50 you get not only a ticket, but also a feeling: of lazy Sundays, jazzy afternoons and summer happiness. Music as a meeting place, jazz as the heartbeat of the city.
