Jazz lovers, unite. Every first Thursday of the month you can join us for live jazz sessions in our lobby. Grab a drink, take a seat and unwind from a hard day’s work during Jazz Thursdays at Werkplaats.

Each edition we’re accompanied by the fabulous Amsterdam Jazz Trio (Jochem Braat on piano, Tijn Jans on drums, and Adrie Braat on double bass). They bring along a special guest every month, varying from saxophonists to jazz singers and vibraphonists, this time it’s Bert de Kort:

Bert de Kort was born on 4 September 1942 in Amsterdam. He grew up surrounded by 78 rpm records ranging from Red Nichols, Bix Beiderbecke and Paul Whiteman to Billy Butterfield. Started playing cornet at the age of 15 and quickly gained a reputation in Holland as a powerful and funky player. Made his first professional steps on the U.S. Forces club circuit in France and Germany in the early sixties. Played with several prominent French jazz musicians such as Maxim Suary and Dany Doriz.  
Bert was part of the Storktown Dixie Kids in 1967 and toured the USA that same year, working with Max Kaminsky and Tony Parenti in New York City.  
Bert de Kort was cornet player with the Dutch Swing College Band between 1968 until August 1977, after which he opened his own jazz temple “Jazzland” in Amsterdam. At the same time he became the leader of the Dixieland Pipers with whom he performed at many jazz festivals and clubs. They toured extensively in Holland, Germany and Switzerland. Frequent visits were made to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. From November 1999 Bert de Kort rejoined the Dutch Swing College Band until 2010.  
Bert de Kort is known for his melodic cornet playing, especially in ballads, it is not surprising that he is a great admirer of jazz great Bobby Hacket.

If you joined the most recent Likeminded get-together at Doka during ADE, you know it was a memorable one. That’s why Likeminded is thrilled to announce their next event — and final party of the year — on December 20th. The best part? It marks the start of the holidays, and they’re bringing some special guests.

This time, they’re welcoming Laylla Dane, the renowned Bulgarian selector who has been on Likeminded’s radar for a long time. Musically, she moves in a sonic space where house, techno, and trance intertwine, wrapped in thick layers of trippy psychedelia. Making their debut on the Likeminded decks is jojoj, a “Laak Club” resident and key figure in The Hague’s underground scene. Rounding out the lineup is Likeminded’s own Daan Donk, taking on support duties.

A workshop by Daphne Bleeker

Here is where you will treat yourself to a relaxing, coffee-infused, painting experience. If you like the smell of coffee and want to experiment with your creativity, this is for you.  
Under the super vision of Daphne Bleeker you will try out different techniques and work towards your own art piece, situated at the creative Volkshotel in Amsterdam East.

The workshop will last two hours, during which Daphne will teach you the techniques she uses while creating a painting. We will work with a strong espresso that will serve as water color paint. That, together with the black aquarelle chalk, will give the illustrations that free and flowy feeling.

- There are 6-12 spots available per class. If you want to book as a group, you can also do a request for a different date and time via daphnebleeker@hotmail.com.
- It will cost €34,95 per person, this includes all materials and there will be lemon/mint-infused water. If you want anything else to drink or eat, the Volkshotel bar has you covered!
- Refunds are not available for cancellations within 36 hours in advance of the session.
