UPCOMING RELEASE! Dutch Jazz Ensemble – The Cole Porter Notes (Release date March 14, 2025)

‘The Cole Porter Notes’, a simple-looking title for the second CD of the ‘Dutch Jazz Ensemble’. Deceptively simple. Because that title emphasizes an attitude towards Porter’s music. They are his notes, he is the leader, he shows the way.

This Dutch Jazz Ensemble does not consist of six egos who compete with those notes, who have to win a war, but of enthusiasts, who want to enjoy how beautiful, delicious and intriguing those sequences can be. And they play their game with it, in style and swinging.

The Dutch Jazz Ensemble makes it a close ‘homage’ to Porter.
To quote one of his own crazy strings of words: “It’s delightful, it’s delicious, it’s delectable, it’s delirious, it’s deluxe, it’s de-lovely.”
