Bram Wijnand's Majestic 7

Fresh from a week of gigging in Holland, Bram Wijnand joined his Majestic Seven recently at Jardines. If you like your jazz to have some swing and for it to be a little bit raucous this is the group for you. Definitely in the mold of Louis Armstrong's Hot Fives and Hot Sevens.


Of particular note from this group is the outstanding alto sax of Dan Thomas. Besides performing regularly, Thomas, along with Wijnands, is also involved with UMKC teaching a variety of jazz curricula.



Jurgen Welge ably holds down an impressive drumset with all the bells and whistles and horns and cymbals and wood blocks....

You can catch Bram Wijnand's trio at The Majestic Steakhouse every Friday and Saturday night. The Majestic Seven play Jardines every second Wednesday of the month.
