The spectacular finale of the evening will be brought to you by the new trio of saxophonist and natural born performer Christophe Monniot.

| 12.00 | Noorderhoogebrug Buitenplaats | ENVER IZMAILOV |
Enver Izmailov is a pioneer of the finger tapping technique, in which the fingerboard of the guitar is played with all ten fingers. He developed this style for solo concerts, completely unaware of the fact that in other parts of the world guitarists like Stanley Jordan and Fred Frith were doing the same thing. Izmailov is originally from Uzbekistan, but currently lives in Crimea on the Black Sea. The unorthodox guitarist gives his own personal interpretation of the musical folklore of the Caucasus, Central Asia en Bulgaria.

| 12.30 | Garnwerd tent | MICHAEL MOORE POOL |
Specially for last year’s Grand Theatre’s soundofmusic festival Michael Moore assembled a fantastic group of students from the Groningen Prins Claus Conservatory, where he teaches. The ICP Orchestra and Available Jelly reedist got them to work on Dutch jazz classics from the Amsterdam Real Book. Incidentally Michael Moore played a major role in compiling this Amsterdam Real Book, a collection of Dutch jazz standards by Misha Mengelberg, Guus Janssen, Tristan Honsinger, Sean Bergin and many others. The result is a fresh look at 40 years of recent Amsterdam jazz history.

| 12.30 | 13.45 | Leegchurch church | TRIO MONNIOT / SZANDAI / QUITZKE |
Christophe Monniot was part of the illustrious La Campagnie des Musiques à Ouïr, the cheerful French trio which opened the very first Prologue of the 15th SummerJazzCycleTour at the Groninger Museum. The adventurous saxophonist is nowadays causing quite a stir with his own trio. He bares French chansons and jazz standards to the bone and adds a sultry touch of his own. The perfect performer to kick off the SJCT’s very own Tour de France at the beautifully restored church in Leegkerk.

| 12.30 | 13.45 | Aduard church | TRIO VLOEIMANS / BRINKMANN / FLORIZOONE |
The Sena Route presents a Vloeimans Special, featuring the successful trumpeter Eric Vloeimans as big band leader of the Nederlands Jazz Jeugd Orkest in the late afternoon. But first Vloeimans shows his sensitive side with Oliver’s Cinema, his new trio with the inventive German cellist Jörg Brinkmann and the Flemish accordion giant Tuur Florizoone with atmospheric, gentle trio music that could easily be used a soundtrack.

| 13.15 | 14.30 | Adorp church | TILTAN |
Tiltan’s music is a great mix of folklore and Israeli guitarist David Golek’s compositions. The international, Amsterdam based quartet includes clarinettist Natalio Sued (Argentina), Moldavia born Oleg Fateev on bayan (a Russian button accordion) and the recent laureate of the VPRO Boy Edgar Prijs (the major Dutch jazz award) Oene van Geel on viola. In his pieces David leaves ample room for improvisations, making use of his band members’ impressive individual qualities. Tiltan is the Hebrew word for clover, with its symbolic value of good luck.

| 13.30 | 14.45 | Aduard factory | ALFRED SPIRLI / ALAN PURVES |
On the eve of the SJCT the Prologue offers a first musical encounter between the two exceptional percussionists Alfred Spirli and Alan ‘Gunga’ Purves. They haven’t seen each other in 25 years. ‘Alfred was a great inspiration for me’ says the Amsterdam based Scotsman Alan Purves. Alfred Spirli is a member of the French musicians’ collective ARFI in Lyon. He performed at the 2000 SJCT with the band L’Effet Vapeur. Both drummers are geniuses in using found objects and children’s toys. So we may expect an exuberant playtime full of special effects.

| 13.45 | 15.00 | Den Ham barn Huizinga | BARNICLE BILL TRIO & WOLTER WIERBOS |
In 1953 John Engels (1935) started making money as a drummer. He performed with local heroes like Kid Dynamite and the Diamond Five as well as Chet Baker, of whom he has fond memories. The most experienced Dutch jazz drummer has been a professional for 60 years now. We celebrate this with an anniversary concert by the Barnicle Bill Trio, in which he is joined by two young Turks: alto saxophonist Miguel Martinez and bass guitarist Mark Haanstra. The book contains a wide-ranging repertoire by Thelonious Monk and Ornette Coleman alike. The guest performance by trombonist Wolter Wierbos is rather special. It is the first time he meets the guys from Barnicle Bill.

| 13.45 | 15.00 | Feerwerd barn Hans | VLEK |
Brabant has a new super band. The seven piece outfit Vlek started its life during sessions at the Tilburg jazz club Paradox, initiated by a few stalwarts of the venue, the brothers Jacq and Bert Palinckx, who had lately been busy with theatre projects and the organisation of the November Music festival respectively. And what about Vlek’s music? ‘It encompasses a broad scope from modern jazz, rock, pop, fanfare, torch songs and contemporary composed music to circus music – in other words: you name it and they will play it.’ (Jacques Los, Draaiomjeoren)

| 14.30 | 15.45 | Den Ham Harkema | DAUNIK LAZRO |
Daunik Lazro is an improviser par excellence. Having started on alto sax he now specializes in solo concerts on baritone sax, from which he manages to lure the most unusual sounds. The structure of his solos is phenomenal. His solo albums are always released by Claude Tchamitchian’s Emouvance label. Lazro made a good move in the late 1980s when he picked up the then young Michel Doneda and Lê Quan Ninh. Daunik Lazro worked with improvising musicians like Joëlle Léandre, Carlos Zingaro and Joe McPhee. Solo baritone sax in Harkema’s miniature church, a treat for connoisseurs.

| 14.30 | 15.45 | Oostum church | SIMON NABATOV / NILS WOGRAM |
A virtuoso duo of two musicians who like to get the most out of their instruments. Simon Nabatov and Nils Wogram are a match for each other, and it seems like their interplay knows no boundaries. Moscow born and raised pianist Simon Nabatov (1959) emigrated to the States at the age of twenty. Here he completed his classical training at the Juilliard School of Music. In New York Nabatov also developed a powerful, inventive style and connected with the New York jazz scene. He worked with greats like Ray Anderson, Arthur Blythe and Paul Motian. Simon Nabatov currently lives in Cologne.

| 14.45 | 16.00 | Frytum barn | CHRIS CORSTENS QUARTET |
With its debut album Treiffel the Chris Corstens Quartet hits the nail on the head. Wonderfully bouncy jazz pieces featuring Oscar Jan Hoogland’s Misha Mengelberg-like piano style. Harald Austbø’s five string cello makes the music all the more flexible. ‘It’s a true pleasure to listen to saxophonist Chris Corstens’, says critic Rinus van der Heyden (Jazzenzo). ‘...just enough quirky Dutch elements to leave a smile on your face, but the musicians never overdo it’ are the opening words of a rave review by Dave Lynch (Allmusic). In other words: yet another new and fresh band to come out of Amsterdam. Little can go wrong in Frytum.

| 15.00 | 16.15 | Fransum church | TRIO MARK SANDERS / OLIE BRICE / TOBIAS DELIUS |
For ten years the legendary carte blanche series ‘The adventures of Toby and Cor (Fuhler) with a drummer’ helped to shape the SJCT. Tobias Delius remains a welcome guest to the programme. Drummer Mark Sanders has always topped his wish list, and this time he is lucky. For this year’s edition of the SJCT the British rhythm section of Mark Sanders and Olie Brice pays us a visit. Powerhouse drummer Mark Sanders is a central figure of the current English jazz scene. He worked with Derek Bailey, Evan Parker and Phil Minton. The trio Sanders/Brice/Delius will tour England, but the SummerJazzCycleTour sees the première of this exciting improvisation outfit.

| 15.00 | 16.15 | Ezinge Wierdenland | DUTCH IMPRO ACADEMY |
Having worked with the international participants of this summer course for a week the five musicians from the dOeK musicians’ collective and the Instant Composers Pool will present the results at the Amsterdam Bimhuis and at the SummerJazzCycleTour. This year the staff were Han Bennink, Ernst Glerum, Felicity Provan, Carl Ludwig Hűbsch and Oscar Jan Hoogland.

| 15.30 | 16.45 | Krassum barn | VOLKOVTRIO |
Bassist Vladimir Volkov is best known for his work with the crossover group Vershki Da Koreshki (later VeDaKi) featuring the Senegalese vocalist Mola Sylla side by side with a throat singer from Tuva. Since 1995 the bassist has been running his Volkovtrio, a heavy power band which has developed an intensive approach to music which will blow away the listener. The St. Petersburg threesome is always looking for catchy grooves which they like to deepen. Guitarist Slava Kurashov and bassist Vladimir Volkov exchange improvisations and exciting rock-like riffs. Sometimes there is a musical link to folklore, but they never leave the pumping Volkovtrio groove.

| 16.00 | 17.15 | Den Ham church | TRIO AMARCO |
A Tour de France shouldn’t be without bassist Claude Tchamitchian. He made a great impression with a solo concert in Feerwerd in 2010. Three years later he returns with a fantastic string trio, Trio Amarco. On the eponymous CD Amarco (Emouvance) Tchamitchian manages to achieve the same intensity with which he performed his solo concert. Tchamitchian’s powerful, yet crystal-clear compositions work wonders for string trio and with the acoustics of the Den Ham church the subtle improvisations will sound even more exciting. Highly recommended for lovers of pizzicato and arco string music.

| 16.15 | 17.30 | Garnwerd tent | BLACK SEA TRIO |
The Black Sea Trio plays ethnic jazz full of musical influences from the states bordering on the Black Sea. The Bulgarian-Russian saxophonist Anatoly Vapirov has his roots in jazz. In the 1980s he was part of the avant-garde scene of Leningrad (as it was then called). Guitarist Enver Izmailov is from Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula in the Black Sea. Here he also uses his famous finger tapping style, laying the groundwork for Eastern European folk melodies. Percussionist Stoyan Yankoulov took part in the Bulgarian entry to the 2007 Eurovision Song Festival with the song Water (it came in fifth), but he also performed Bulgarian wedding music with Ivo Papasov.

| 16.30 | 17.45 | Niehove church | ALL ELLINGTON |
Yet another new initiative from the people at dOeK. Since last winter cornetist Eric Boeren has been bringing together musicians to perform the music of Duke Ellington. In addition to great hits like Mood Indigo and Sophisticated Lady lesser known gems like Boy Meets Horn, African Flower and Jack the Bear are conjured out of Duke’s high hat. Keeping in mind the brilliant Ellington interpretations by the ICP Orchestra the standard is set pretty high, but the All Ellington guys can meet them. Those who are familiar with the work of these gentlemen know that they will make these beautiful tunes their own, pairing respect for the original compositions with idiosyncrasy en individuality.

| 17.15 | 18.30 | Feerwerd church | ORLANDO MARACA VALLE / RAMON VALLE |
Ramón Valle (1964) started his piano studies in Cuba at the age of seven. ‘Our greatest young piano talent ‘ is what Irakere’s founder Chucho Valdés had to say about him. When he makes his European debut in 1995 he amazes both critics and audiences with his impeccable technique and virtuosity. Three years later he settles in the Netherlands, achieving successes at North Sea Jazz Festival as well as at the Amsterdam Concertgebouw. Ramon Valle is not a pianist who plays Latin jazz or Cuban jazz, but a Cuban jazz pianist who doesn’t betray his roots. Ramon Valle comes to Feerwerd with his cousin, flutist Orlando ‘Maraca’ Valle, who was a member of Irakere.
| 17.15 | 18.30 | Feerwerd barn Dick | SYNAESTHETIC TRIP |
Last year drummer Edward Perraud shone in Das Kapital. The quartet the inventive French percussionist now has on offer features two big names: trumpeter Bart Maris (Ghent) and pianist Benoit Delbecq (Paris). With a sparse use of electronics Synaesthétic Trip produces a modern jazz adventure in which Edward Perraud fills his attractive, light-hearted compositions with clever rhythmic finds. The band’s eponymous debut album would be a gem in anyone’s record collection.

| 17.15 | 18.30 | Niehove | BAKFIETSBAND |
Little is known about the Bakfietsband (Transport bike band). Rumour has it that it’s Oscar Jan Hoogland’s old highschool band, with a sawed-through piano. At the time of writing it remains to be seen whether the transport bike containing half this piano will even make it to Groningen. There is a great YouTube clip full of expectation, featuring an empty Amsterdam street for minutes on end, in which the Bakfietsband finally races by in 6 seconds). In the circuit around the Niehove church we may enjoy their music maybe a little longer. They will perform during the interval of the All Ellington concert and immediately following that band’s second set. If they manage to make it to Groningen…
| 17.45 | 19.00 | Saaksum barn | DICK RUSTICUS QUINTET |
This summer the SJCT, in collaboration with the Noorderzon festival, presents Groningen guitarist Dick Rusticus’s new band. The leader was a mainstay in bassist Gerard Ammerlaan’s bands over the years. The Rusticus Quintet started its life last winter behind the billiard table at the Kroeg van Klaas bar in Groningen. Inspired by the music of John Scofield the band grooves and improvises on blues, jazz and folk influences. The band consists of experienced musicians from the Groningen jazz scene. Keyboardist Diederik Idema, for instance, runs the Smederij jazz sessions and the American drummer Steve Altenberg teaches at the Prins Claus Conservatory.

| 17.45 | 19.00 | Ezinge church | EVELYN PETROVA |
Update: Misha Alperin is absent for reasons of ill-health, accordionist/vocalist Evelyn Petrova will be giving a soloconcert
Pianist Misha (Mikhail) Alperin has been a member of the Moscow Art Trio for nearly 25 years. The trio laid the foundation for the fusion of Russian folklore and the improvisation models of jazz. Alperin’s own music is released ECM label (he recorded with John Surman). A new album with vocalist/accordionist Evelyn Petrova is in preparation. Evelyn Petrova also improvises on ideas from Russian folklore. In Petrova’s solo set at the 2006 SJCT her vocal contributions offered the listener an imaginary trip across Russian landscapes, commenting on them with her own accordion musings. An ideal duo partner for Misha Alperin, in other words.
| 18.30 | 19.45 | Garnwerd Doorrit | ALAIN BRUEL / FRANÇOIS THUILLIER |
Accordion and tuba is an unusual combination. Alain Bruel and François Thuillier use it to make new musette music. It is a typical French mix of the ancient musette and other folk influences with jazz. Again we see two virtuosos who master their instruments to perfection. It allows them to go whichever way the music may lead them. Jazz cyclists who boast of an iron memory will know that tubist François Thuillier performed at the 1998 SJCT with his Thuillier Brass Trio. Quiz question: who were his fellow musicians in his second performance that year?

| 18.45 | 20.00 | Feerwerd barn Hans | NJJO & ERIC VLOEIMANS |
In May the third edition of the Nationaal Jeugd Jazz Orkest (Dutch National Youth Jazz Orchestra) premiered at the Amsterdam Bimhuis. The NJJO is a national student orchestra which is assembled every other year from highly talented musicians below the age of 21. The leading idea is to inspire these young musicians. This edition’s 17 piece orchestra has conductor, composer, trumpeter and soloist Eric Vloeimans at the helm. The big band will perform old and new music by Eric Vloeimans. The arrangements were made by Martin Fondse and others.

| 19.00 | 20.15 | Garnwerd church | TRIO REIJSEGER / FRAANJE / SYLLA |
Since 2000 cellist Ernst Reijseger has been making soundtracks for seven of Werner Herzog’s films. His collaboration with Senegalese singer Mola Sylla is also a long-standing one. Pianist Harmen Fraanje became Reijseger’s partner in the Fugimundi adventure with Eric Vloeimans and he latched on to the duo, making it a trio. The threesome has found a beautiful balance between the qualities of both Reijseger, Sylla and Fraanje. John Kelman said this about their latest album Deep Down on All About Jazz: ‘Deep Down truly sounds like no other recording, as romantic classicism intersects with African culture and jazz-centric improvisation.’

| 20.00 | Garnwerd tent | DJ SWINGMASTER SEM / DJ EDDY D |
The traditional battle of the 78s between DJ Swingmaster Sem and DJ Eddy D. to warm up the crowd for The Jig.
| 22.00 | Garnwerd tent | THE JIG |
The Amsterdam funk band The Jig is doing well. This spring they released their second album Aaargh! and they are on tour, performing at the summer festivals. Their super tight and supple instrumental funk is The Jig’s trademark, and is so catchy it gets whole crowds moving. The Jig’s steaming funk takes its examples from bands like The Meters and The JBs. By the way, that guy on baritone sax, isn’t that the same Koen Schouten who writes for the national newspaper de Volkskrant? In that case it will certainly be one hell of a raunchy party.
