The Auratones

THE AURATONES: Is it jazz? Is it funk? Is it soul? The Auratones combine the best of these genres.
So-called soul-jazz with Latin- and world influences. Jazz with a beat: Funkin’ hard, original and danceable.
The ideal combination of groovy music and the freedom of jazz improvisation.
The Auratones, so far, have released six cd's. And their sixth, "Bada Bing" is fresh off the grill and the first with Hammond and Rhodes virtuoso Johan Hendrikse!
it contains nine original compositions which feature the talents of each band member.

The Auratones have played numerous festivals such as The Bossa Estufa-festival in Maastricht, the World Port Jazz festival in Rotterdam, twice at the North Sea Jazzfestival, The Utrecht & Rotterdam Film Festivals, Heineken Jazzfestival on Curaçao and the International Summer Jazz Festival in Riga, Letland.
The Auratones have worked together with a lot of guest artists such as alto sax virtuoso Candy Dulfer, trumpet wizards Gerard Presencer and Eric Vloeimans, vocalists Berget Lewis and Boris and virtuoso Thijs van leer and his daughter Berenice van Leer.
