Red Light Jazz is a multi-day jazz festival in and around the Red Light District in Amsterdam. It is especially the exciting location, the internationally renowned and illustrious Red Light District in the old city center of Amsterdam, that makes this festival so unique in the world. This year there will again be concerts in De Waalse Kerk, with performances by Hermine Deurloo, Gwilym Simcock and Mike Walker on Friday night, June 7.

Dutch harmonica player Hermine Deurloo is coming to the Netherlands with two jazz giants. Gwilym Simcock and Mike Walker (The Impossible Gentlemen) have a unique collaboration with her - since they met at the Ambleside Jazz Festival. Their musical love of total breadth - from rock to classical and folk to jazz - makes these three exceptional improvisation gods find each other effortlessly in a breathtaking exploration of rich harmonies and catchy melodies.

Hermine has rapidly developed into the most important voice on the harmonica and now collaborates with these two absolute greats.

Gwilym Simcock can be counted among the "Inner Circle" of great contemporary pianists including Brad Mehldau, Keith Jarrett and Gonzalo Rubalcaba. He has also toured with classical violinist Nigel Kennedy, alongside such jazz heroes as Dave Holland, Kenny Wheeler and Lee Konitz. His solo playing is legendary.

Mike Walker is a British guitar legend, having performed with Kenny Wheeler and Steve Swallow.

This concert will take you on a breathtaking exploration of rich harmonies, catchy melodies and groovy rhythms.
