In 2005, The Amsterdam Jazz Orchestra was founded. In 2006, the band started a successful series of gigs in The Sugarfactory, Meander, the Bimhuis and Club 8, all renowned Amsterdam venues.

Schönes Wochenende wünsch ich Dir Amsterdam Jazz Orchestra, Sonne und gutes Leben!!!

... und weißte was: wenn Du mal vier Minuten in einer komplett anderen Welt gefangen sein willst dann lies die ersten Zeilen meines nicht zu toppenden Erotik Thrillers:

- click - Sibylle und ihre sündige Moral - click -

Zu harter Tobak? Du bist noch keine 18, oder das Alter lässt Dich nicht mehr schlafen? SAT.1 macht die Nacht zum Tage und lässt die Puppen tanzen: In der Nacht von Sonntag auf Montag 02:40 Uhr bis 4:20 Uhr:

TOM GAEBEL And His Big Band - LIVE IN CONCERT auf SAT.1 !!!

So, wenn das mal nicht schöne Neuigkeiten für meine Freunde sind weiß ich auch nicht mehr, ich hab gegeben was ich konnte!

Genieß die Sonne Amsterdam Jazz Orchestra.
Dein Mr. Good Life

Ik wens jullie veel succes en een fantastisch 2007.
Hartelijke groet,
