Trui Amerlinck is a jazz double bass player from Belgium, but she is no stranger to Amsterdam. During her studies at the Lemmensinstituut in Leuven, she followed an Erasmus exchange in the Dutch capital city. Last June, she got her master’s degree at the Royal Conservatoire of Antwerp, with her own project TRVI. To our great joy, she will once more ‘bridge the gap’ and visit Amsterdam to perform at the Grachtenfestival.
As in the pas years, the Amsterdam North Sea Jazz Club is kind enough to ‘lend’ us its famed house band The Fresh Cuts. We are delighted to host them again at the Grachtenfestival. The Fresh Cuts are Alexander van Popta, piano; Bas van der Wal, guitar; Hugo den Oudsten, bass and Salle de Jonge, drums.
The band usually performs with renowned artists like Ruben Hein, Benjamin Herman, Sabrina Starke and many others. During The Grachtenfestival Amsterdam however, the accomplished musicians of the Fresh Cuts will invite ‘the jazz talent of the future’ onto their stage, to come and jam, swing, experiment and improvise.
