Big band music, good company and great energy.

JAZZALIKE Big Band plays at our Big Band Night in KZ, inviting everyone to enjoy live swing music in a relaxed, welcoming and beautiful atmosphere.

We are all about the glorious music of the 1930&40, mixed with nowadays life. It’s an experience for young and old, for the listener and for the dancer, for the party animal and for the wallflower. We have the space for all of it in the allure of our 1956 stunning art-deco venue.

About the band:
Based in Utrecht, Jazzalike Bigband has been performing on stage since 2001. The repertoire consists of a good mix of modern jazz and traditional big band, as well as intimate ballads and danceable funk grooves. The band is made up of five saxophones, four trombones, four trumpets, a tight rhythm section, and an enthusiastic bandleader, often complemented by an amazing singer.

WHAT: Live Music by JAZZALIKE BIG Band – a night full of live music, tasty drinks and if you feel like it a dance!
