Isla Van Hout (1996) is a jazz vocalist from Belgium, based in Amsterdam. She recently finished her Master’s degree in Jazz Voice at the Conservatory of Amsterdam and will perform for you with her brand new band. First off, she’ll be joined by pianist Jetse de Jong. Following in the footsteps of their musical heroes such as Dinah Washington, Ella Fitzgerald and Nancy Wilson, Van Hout and de Jong pay tribute to the great blues and jazz songbooks from the thirties, forties and fifties. The duo met at the Conservatory of Amsterdam where they discovered a mutual admiration for the excitement and swinging sounds so recognizable for the music from that era. Later in the set, her band will jump in and together they will perform their debut EP for the very first time. In her music, Isla combines her love for soul and pop music with her jazz-roots. This August the band is releasing their first single and later this year their debut album will follow.

This concert is supported by the Amsterdam Studio Concerts Foundation
