Jazz in de Gracht ..... Jazz on the canal

One of the highlights of the late summer in The Hague is the 'Jazz in de Gracht' festival, now in its 9th year.
The weather was good enough this year for the crowds to chill along the canal dipping into some fine places to eat and drink along the way.

Above are Remmelt, Muus and Femke  who offered great vocals with a rich folk sound.

One of the highlights of the evening were Blood, Sweat and Kiers who encouraged the crowds to join in with their unrelenting rhythm and the sax sounds of Wouter Kiers.
