Cultopia's Impromptu Jazz and Funk Sessie brengt toegankelijke maar hoogwaardige jazz- en funkjamsessies met een sterke huisband van Amsterdamse muzikanten als basis. We bieden in Amsterdam Oost voor zowel het luisterend publiek als de deelnemende muzikanten een gezellig topevent in het mooie Podium Genieten aan het Oranje Vrijstaatplein in de Watergraafsmeer.
Dit evenement is uniek in Amsterdam Oost, waar nog nooit eerder een jazz- of funkjamsessie heeft plaatsgevonden. Onder leiding van sessieleider Leo Kogan nodigt de band bekende muzikanten uit de lokale jazzscene uit. Muziektalent uit Oost en Amsterdam kan bij ons het podium op stappen. De eerste keren werden meteen goed bezocht. Het evenement is gratis toegankelijk en deelname is natuurlijk ook gratis. De productie van dit evenement is in handen van Cultopia van Stichting Karrewiel (bekend van het Indische Buurt Festival.)
Locatie: cafe Genieten, Oranje Vrijstaatplein 2 (naast Stadsdeel Oost/ 1 minuut loopafstand van Q-Factory)
Entree op donatie achteraf. Join us tijdens deze gegarandeerde topavond!
