Saskia Laroo :
Friday, June 5, I’ll be back at the legendary jazz club Casablanca on the Zeedijk during the 13th edition of the Red Light Jazz Festival in Amsterdam.
As a proud ambassador of Red Light Jazz, I’m very happy to return to this iconic venue. Casablanca has been part of my musical journey for many years, and I also performed there during the very first edition of the festival in 2014.
This special concert is also a celebration of Miles Davis’ 100th birthday. I’ve often been called “Lady Miles Davis” because of my energetic and adventurous approach to jazz, mixing jazz, funk, hip hop, dance grooves and improvisation into my own sound.
Saskia Laroo Band line-up:
Saskia Laroo – trumpet, alto sax, vocals, bass
Warren Byrd – piano/keys, vocals, bongos
Maarten Russchen – guitar, vocals, bass
Siniša Banović – drums
