Get to know Anton Goudsmit in Jazzheld Vertelt

The concept is simple, you take your favorite jazz hero put him or her in a room filled with their fans, add a bathtub, a turntable, video’s, photo’s, Twitter, an open mic, MC John Buijsman and there you have it “Jazzheld Vertelt”. With this new concept Stichting Jazz hopes to give the public more insight into what motivates their favorite jazz hero and add an extra layer to their jazz experience.

Anton Goudsmit, winner of the 2010 Boy Edgar prize is the first cab of the rank. On the 25^th and the 27^th of March in the Sugar Factory in Amsterdam, Goudsmit will take the public on a journey through his sources of inspiration, his high and low points and as we can expect from Goudsmit a healthy dose of craziness and humor. An evening with Jazzheld Vertelt gives the public the opportunity to get to know their favorite Dutch jazz artist from inside out, for example, did you know that Anton spends at least one hour per day in the Bath and uses this time to do his administration! Anton will also present some inspirational home video including street musicians playing instruments using their feet due to the fact that their arms are missing or Ugandan musicians using some strange techniques and creating some amazing things.  

The public will also have the opportunity to participate. You can send comments and requests via Twitter or engage in the conversation via the Open mic. You can also win prizes with the Jazz Quiz. All in all this will be a great night. I love this idea and as a big fan of Anton Goudsmit will be sitting in the front row. I hope that this is a great success for Stichting Jazz and look forward to the time that Jazzheld Vertelt is a permanent feature on the Dutch jazz scene.
