""De Jazz Centrale" came to me via Instagram, in the night from Saturday 10 December to Sunday 11 December when I was watching over my father. On Saturday 17 December it has trio played three songs at the Catholic mass on the occasion of my father's funeral. The communication beforehand went smoothly, the 3 gentlemen were indeed generous on time, no stress. And most importantly: during the mass, the music was subdued and beautiful and led to connection. And later, in the cemetery, in the afternoon sun, the sounds warmly met us, despite the cold that froze the fingers and strings. Marco, Arnold and Laurens, directed by Kars: Thank you! Only positive, no discord."
