On the 17th of February, the 2011 edition of the Young VIPs tour will kick off in the Bimhuis. The Young VIPs tour has been organized yearly since 1997 and presents a series of concerts in jazz venues throughout the Netherlands. The concerts consist of a double bill featuring two talented Dutch bands providing them with the opportunity to present new original jazz repertoire to a broad cross section of jazz listeners.
Each year a panel consisting of promoters from the Association of jazz and improvised music venues (Vereniging van Jazz- en Improvisatiemuziek Podia -VIP) select two bands for the tour. The two bands selected for the 2011 tour are the Clemens van der Feen Band and the Castel/Van Damme Quartet.
