Malaysian Tour 2014
Malaysia Tour December 2014
Just got back from Malaysia I played there several concerts in mainly Kuala Lumpur. One of the biggest theatre there is the ASWARA Orchestra Hall. This was really nice. I could play there for the first time on my Jeffrey Yong guitar! The sound was incredible. Never heard anything like this before…so of course the concert was a huge success. If the sound is right you play better that’s a fact.
I met a 12 year old boy there as well….his name is Melvyn Gnai…please do notice this name. What a talent this is! He won a World youth concourse in 2014 and is playing now in the Carnegie Hall in NY in May 2015! But….before that….he will join me and John Goldie for a theatre concert in Leidschendam (Holland) on the 25th of April.
I did some workshops as well. A very nice one (maybe the best so far!) was at Hammerklavier. Several students there showed up and gave me a great time. I hope that I learned them something as well.
I will go back at the end of this year! Same time same place…;-)

China Tour 2010
Review Tour China
On the 20th of november Remy Hansen and I went for an Asian tour in China Shanghai. The tour was one big party for us. Our tour manager Huang Ruby was an ace for us. She really made us feel at home at the other side of the world! We played our concerts in Shanghai. This was quite some experience…We had some good concerts at the Melting Pot, but our best gig was on our “day off”…We went to Oscar’s Pub and start jamming….within’ 10 minutes we had the whole place upsite down with songs as Sweet home Alabama, Little Wing….and a lot Jamming…
Our masterclass at Dulwich for the talented guitar players of Shanghai was a nice thing to do as well. It was great to play with such a good guitar player as Remy. I am honored to say that we became good musical friends! For an expression of the tour you can see the photo’s in the gallery below.

Interview on Akkernet
Akkernet hooked up via the Internet recently and chatted with Alex van Voorst who made an album with Jan in 1996. The following conversation provides us with an interesting insight to Jan’s exacting professional standards…and how Alex responded.
The next morning, when I arrived in the studio I was furious. I did not say “good morning” to anybody, I grabbed my guitar and said “start the fucking tape!” In my mind I had the idea that if Jan still would not like it I would stop with the CD.
Having a lot of fun together!
