Jazz’N Ambleny 2023 : an impression
This year the church in Pernant – neighbour village of Ambleny – offered a welcome atmosphere for our musical meeting. Musicians and audience were surprised by the good acoustics, the warm welcome and of course the champagne.
The festival was recommended by Radio France Musique, on the site of the Dutch embassy in Paris and in the media of Hauts de France, Aisne and Oise. We thank the municipalities of Ambleny and Pernant, the CC Retz-en-Valois, all the sponsors, the helpers and the volunteers of this year! But above all thanks to Agathe Iracema, Peter Beets, Suzan Veneman, Wouter Kühne and bassist Joachim Govin who was so kind to step in at the last moment. See you in 2024!
