Anyone who visits Rotterdam regularly to listen to jazz has to have heard of them. The septet The Auratones, a group of passionate professional musicians. With their cool jazz, they make irresistible danceable groove music, always with a twinkle in their eye, as their music is full of humor too. The Auratones were founded some six years ago by guitarist Tjeerd van Zanen, sax player Rolf Delfos and bass player Boudewijn Lucas. Last year they were the successful main act of Gigs For Kids, North Sea Jazz' children's program.
