The anniversary festival of Breda was gigantic! The whole city was one big stage surrounded by tens of thousands of fans. I had the pleasure to perform with jazz greats like Eddie Metz jr., Jason Marsalis, Dan Barrett, Roy Williams, Michel Pastre, and, and, and... It was nice to meet the young Canadian trumpet player Bria Skonberg and many others. On Youtube ther is a video from one of our concerts: here

Now the Ascona Festival is coming up: from June 29 on we will be there with the "Centerpiece Quintet". The Ascona Jazz Festival is one of the most beautiful festivals in all of Europe - directly situated at lake Lago Maggiore, surounded by hugh mountains and the Italian border only 20 km away... just fantastic. Whoever is able to make it, should come!

Whatelse happened? I am working on the new edition of my own website, the English version is still under construction.

There are finally videos on Youtube of the great project "Jazz ExTempore Orchestra 2009" from last autumn: have a look

The debut concert of the "Jan Luley Trio" with the program "Piano Tales" was very successful. The audience enjoyed the tunes, the funny stories Jan told and the grand piano, he played on. Looking forward to the next concert on this Friday in Osterode...
