Jazz, pop, photos and comics: the Konrad Koselleck Big Band is challenged by the images and stories of photo comic artist and pop fan Ype Driessen.

The Konrad Koselleck is something else. Time and again band leader Koselleck finds adventurous combinations of jazz, cabaret and other areas. Special guest is photo comic artist Ype Driessen. With projections of his photo comics he influences the course of the concert. Ype’s main musical influences are pop bands such as the Pet Shop Boys. Now he will delve into the world of jazz and big bands. The Konrad Koselleck Big band will be inspired and challenged by his comics.

‘Koselleck has a keen sense of atmosphere, he knows when to slow down or fire up the band… the conviction of an ecstatic big band is phenomenal’ (de Volkskrant).

‘Sure, it’s as loud and impressive as a big band is supposed to be, but beyond that it’s a revelation to hear how serene this bunch of metal can become, how Koselleck makes use of all the dynamic possibilities of his ensemble’ (de Volkskrant).

The Bimhuis restaurant is open prior to the concert from 6 til 8.30PM (reservations via 020-7882158). After the concert, the Bimhuis Café is open (free entrance).
