Jazz In the Canal

My Hubs and I had a great time yesterday in The Hague for an evening of jazz in the canal :) Young and old jazz music lovers were out there enjoying a relaxing evening of jazz by the canals. Participating restaurants/pubs were packed with diners and drinkers who were there for a great evening. It was definitely one of a nice evening!

As both of us do not know how good these local jazz musicians were so we went there with an open mind and we were not disappointed :) Some bands were very good....one of my favourite for the evening was 'Blood Sweat & Kiers' consists of a drummer, 2 guitarist and a saxophonist. They played lively swing, rock jazzy music. Their enthusiasm and fun approach rocked the audience and they loved them!














Another favourite jazz band of the evening was 'Changes'. The songstress was very good, clear voice and they composed their own jazzy songs :) They played mostly loungy and easy to listen jazz music. The crowd also loves them ;)
These bands will be moving from one outlet to another, up and down the canals via the boats. Each bands has approximately 20-30mins in an outlet before moving to another. Another crowd favourites was the 'Basily Boys'. These young very talented guitarist consist of 3 young musicians whom are still in their teens were amazing. They played mainly gypsy-latin music.

For those who are staying right beside the canals, they brought their own tables and chairs and set it up near the banks of the canals for a get-together with friends and family. It's almost like an evening picnic by the canals. Some people bringing their own snacks and drinks and just sit by the canals to watch the bands playing. It was truly a very relaxing, informal jazzy evening for all of us!
