On fridaynights we always host our random jazz night @ Nick Vollebregt with piano solo acts by Bas van Lier or Jazzy Derk,  also jazz duo settings with our favourite contrabass players or other fine artists we perform with. For those of you living around the Laren area feel free to enjoy your friday night @ Vollebregt with live jazz music.

On the picture above I’m having fun with former music publisher / label boss Eelko van Kooten and record label chief Tony van de Berkt. Rapping at the bar after my piano performance. Besides having a nice dinner in the restaurant people are also welcome to spin by after dinner time for a drink at the café area where the piano actually stands!

Besides a nice studio project upcoming between these two cats soon, the feeling of jamming live will always be the best vibe there is. Enjoy these snippets by Jazzy Derk and Jessy Hay (Jessy Hay Music). Great stuff, please also enjoy the extra snippets below here as well!

Performing live with Candy is such a joy! When she enters the stage an extra layer of energy rises up. With her experience and skills she always lifts the place up. This performance at the Grand Hotel in Amsterdam was for a group of invitees only but when we would have played this set on a festival outside the crowd would have been dancing their tits off.

For inquiries on our DJ live format feat Candy Dulfer please contact us.

With a wide range artist poule consisting off well known established artists as well as young talents, Jazzy Derk has been performing with his DJ Live Concept for many years. Highlights are the performances with Candy Dulfer, Berget Lewis or Do for example, but also the first years together with Maarten Hogenhuis and Rob van de Wouw were amazing. Together with patriarch Hans Dulfer the whole thing started by the end of the nineties when Hans and Jazzy met in the famous club Roxy. The trent was set and look how many new artists have come to the field who are performing with combinations of DJ with live musicians. The experience Jazzy Derk has with the DJ live concept has reached over 20 years now and this sound is not due to leave the stage soon. With his live keyboards and melodic mixing he is unique in his own way.

For information and bookings please contact us.

Performing with Candy is such a pleasure. While playing with her on stage you get extra wings and feel elevated. Her experience world wide and collaborations with famous artists such as Prince or Dave Stewart really rubs off on you at such moments.

We’re looking much forward to a next inquiry with Candy or a corporate request of our DJ live concept including this great artist and fine person.

With Candy we performed for brands such as Porsche Europe, Cartier, Kroonenberg Group and many other major companies.
