Dear Music Friends

Well, that was that for 2015
...almost: yet another flying-by year
...and High-Flying it was with Superb highlights,
not only our Dutch-grounded ones
but also tours afar in such zones as 
India, Bangladesh, Lithuania, Poland, Italy, Russia and
the US...  

Playing events and festivals like
Netherlands King's Day in Delhi and Dhaka
the Klaipeda Jazz Fest, the Bossa Nova Fest-Moscow; 
and in the Netherlands the Chazz, Amersfoort and
Apeldoorn Jazz Fests... 
And clubs and theaters such as
the Blue Note Jazz Club-Mlilan; 12/14 Jazz Club-Warsaw and Windmills Craftwork-Bangalore.
And of course, soaring with delight (and gratitude) with our recurrent performances in Holland's venues: 
Jazz Cafe Alto, The Cotton Club and Cafe Stiels.

Sharing the bandstand, too,
featuring stellar guest soloists like: 
-the Saskia Laroo Band​ with
trombonist Joseph 'Mr Defunkt' Bowie
-Jazzkia with saxophonist Alexander Beets
-Duo Laroo/Byrd ​with poet Pieter de Bruijn Kops...and
 
I, myself, as guest soloist invited by:
-saxophonist Hans Dulfer :
75 year celebration("Unforgettable")
-DJ Dansor : Amsterdam Dance Event
and as Duo Laroo/Byrd with the Alan Easy Band

and, as ever, many gigs in the USA:
Duo laroo/Byrd & The Byrdspeak Ensemble 
the Afro-Semitic Experience, Bernhard Haaks, John Fisher, Alvin Carter, George Mastrogiannis, Scotty Sasanecki...

And Still More, such as the Upcoming
Friday--SOLD OUT@Pianola Museum, 
one of a few guests on a very special night with
Barrelhouse Light​

PianolaMuseum w Barrelhouse Boogie Woogie

and after this, my last two Netherlands-based
gigs of the year 
December 20th & 27th, 
Jazzkia, my Jazz Quartet with 
Warren Byrd on piano and vocals
@Jazz Café Alto...

And we land hard and sweet, celebrating old and new in the USA, as incarnations of Duo Laroo/Byrd on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day in Hartford, CT.

...So,
