Zomer Jazz Fiets Tour – August 30

index_zjftThe Zomer Jazz Fiets Tour is one of the highlights of the Dutch musical year. The programming is always excellent and diverse and the novel idea to bike from stage to stage across the northern Netherlands’ charming landscape is so appealing we borrowed the idea for the last two editions of the Doek Festival.

1000 & Eugene Chadbourne
Goudsmit / Bakker / Jäger

The complete programme is online at: Zomer Jazz Fiets Tour – Programme…
