‘’Should it be about travel? No about SEX!’’, says the befriended actor Hans Dagelet who torpedoed the original plan for a new Gare du Nord album. It became ‘Sex’ n ‘Jazz’ and everything was right. Marlies Dekkers designed the iconic cover with red stiletto heel, Heleen van Royen wrote the matching book ’Stout’, Marvin Gaye and Paul Carrack sang. ‘Beautiful Day, You’re My Medicine and Marvin & Miles became hits and the New York jazz label Blue Note turned it into a triple platinum success. The best-selling Dutch jazz album ever celebrates their 10th anniversary this year, so: PARTY TIME! In a dazzling, sexy show with a starring role for Dorona Alberti, Gare du Nord releases the album live in the clubs in its entirety. This tour is the last of Gare du Nord for the time being: the band holds a sabbatical year after the last show. ‘’To work on all those ideas that were never elaborated during the non-stop touring’’, thus Gare du Nord.

10 YEARS OF SEX ‘N’ JAZZ
The successful urban jazz band Gare du Nord says goodbye to the Dutch stage this autumn with an extensive club tour. Before this happens, we celebrate with an exuberant party on the occasion of the ten-year jubilee of the success album ‘Sex ‘n’ Jazz’. For the first time and for the last time, Gare du Nord brings the original album to the stage, and also some with new material. That is “popping one more time and then a sabbatical!” According to the band.
“ Gare du Nord zorgt voor een warme en zwoele sfeer in het Paard. De muziek in combinatie met de voetjes die van de vloer gingen zorgden ervoor dat de meedogenloze temperatuur buiten vergeten kon worden. “
