The last months we did a few very nice concerts with singers Anne Chris and Humphrey Campbell. With Anne we've played an evening of music in The Observant in Amersfoort on wednesday May 11th. With Humphrey Campbell we had the wonderful opportunity to play on occasion of the International Day of Jazz in The Palais des Nations of the UN in Geneva on April 28th. We were invited by the Dutch Ambassador of The Permenant representation of The Netherlands in Geneva Roderick van Schraven. It's first secretary Quirine van de Linde did a wonderful job making the first contact and being our gracious hostess and intermediary. We also played for the guests of the ambassador in the Residence in Coppet on occasion of Dutch' Kingsday on the 27th of April. We had a wonderful tree days' experience.
