The Bigband

Through the years, and with the year-long dedication of Charles, the various sections in the big band have grown together to form a high-performing jazz band. Having recorded two CD’s, “Fresh-outta-school” (1999) and “Actual Proof!” (2004), participating in international (e.g. Le Mans, France; Bologna, Italy; Tampere, Finland) and national (e.g. Breda) jazz festivals, supporting many varieties of gala’s, parties, musicals and gigs in jazz bars, Studentproof’s stages are wide-spread. With a repertoire of over 200 arrangements, almost anything is possible.

Eindhoven Jazz Orchestra

The ensemble consists out of four trumpets, five saxophones, four trombones and a rythm section of keys, bass and drums. The songs vary from the swing period with legendary names such as Count Basie and Duke Ellington, to artists such as Oliver Nelson, John Coltrane, Buddy Rich, Thad Jones, Jerry van Rooyen and Bob Mintzer to current componsists such as Path Metheny as well as pieces from the library from Brussels Jazz Orchestra.

Jammer Man

We are jammer man, a group of enthusiastic musicians who play a variety of tunes that we have given their own sound using the original song as a base. Jammer man consists of Jaap (guitar), Ivo (drums), Jop (bass), Gijs (vocals) and Daniël (keys). The name of the band could be considered somewhat ambiguous and has quite a different meaning in English compared to Dutch. In English, the name represents the infamous workflow of the band during their rehearsals: it all starts with a serious attempt to expand their repertoire, but ends in one big jamming/improv session where every band member forgets about reality and gets carried away by the endless vibes. In Dutch, the name would represent what is often the first reaction of the audience when the band is playing live on stage: “This is jammer man.”
