[Dixielandjazz] Jazz in Holland

[Elazar Brandt]

Shalom jazz fans,

I am preparing for a visit to Holland next month, and would like to check out any trad-jazz contacts, events, players, venues that
might have anything going on during my stay or want to get together and play a few notes. I will be there approximately June 14 -
28. Anyone know anything happening during that time? Doesn't matter too much where in Holland. It's a small country with very good
train service. Actually, Belgium or northern Germany might also be in shooting range (oops, poor choice of words, given where I come
from!).

Another question: Next on the itinerary is Bangalore, India, July 9 - 27. It may well be that I will be the jazz attraction there,
or their best kept secret. I have an open invitation to sit in with the band at the Grand Ashok Hotel's Chinese restaurant when I
come to eat there, which is several times a week during my stay. The band is not exactly OKOM, but a great group of Indian players
who do a marvelous job with American pop music. If anyone will be there at that time, do let me know and we can get together. Or if
you know anything I don't about Bangalore's jazz scene, let me know that too. I did find one place that, during the British rule,
had a big dance band that was popular with western visitors, but now they have no live music at all. I'll keep looking.

Thanks in advance for any info,

Elazar
