These 3 musicians come from the heart of the thriving Amsterdam scene,show-stoppers from the Jazz Promotion Network Going Dutch programme which continues to introduce superb European music to a jazz audience looking for surprise and discovery.

All Of The Above is also offering a special '3 for 2' ticket discount deal - a composite ticket for this Nordanians gig, Iain Ballamy's Quartet on 9 June and the newly celebrated Scottish-traditions-meet-Dutch-wit of the Lolanders sextet on 24 June.

Nordanians:

"A three-headed monster with the lightness of a ballerina. With great precision they play the most complex rhythms and intricate breaks. (...) Acrobatic trios in an organic coherence."
De Volkskrant

"Trio with an unusual line-up, but also a special energy, linked to a subtle and inventive musicality."
