Jungle by night

Without a single doubt the hottest band on the Dutch jazz scene - so good they appeal to genuine jazz affecionados as much as to a much more mainstream young and hip crowd.

Jungle by night are:

Bo Floor – Trumpet
Pieter van Exter – Tenor Sax
Ko Zandvliet -Trombone
Jac van Exter – Guitar
Pyke Pasman – Keys
Younes Tool – Bass
Gino Groeneveld – Conga’s/Percussion
Tienson Smeets – Djembe/Percussion
Sonny Groeneveld – Drums

The average age of the band members is 17 or so, hence their appeal to a very young public.

As the rythm section might already have suggested their game is afrobeat, being deeply inspired by jazz music from countries like Nigeria and Ethiopia as well as by western rock culture.

But let's not waste too much time to words.
Let's swing and have a good time!

Their rollicking performance at the otherwise so presitigeous North Sea Jazz festival:

Here's "ET" @ North Sea Jazz - check out just how young that crowd is:

I hope this works.

This is Jungle by Night playing with a more regular big band during an award show this week.
I've copied this video from their website. The broadcast contains the entire show and not just their appearance.
At their website the YouTube vid is set so that it starts to play at the exact time they appear.
Should it not work out here, fast forward to 59:07.
