During this edition, none other than Richard Smith will return to Hengelo for a performance in the freely accessible JazzRock Café! And then the organizers of SmoothJazz Europe get a great deal from contemporary jazz to Hengelo! 

With 13 albums, he is seen as a veteran and innovator of the genre, and the slogan "Where Jazz Rocks" suits this guitarist. This international touring artist shares stage and studio with friends and colleagues including Alex Acuna, Brian Bromberg, Vinnie Colaiuta, Jeff Lorber, Eric Marienthal, Michael Paulo, Greg Adams, and the horn section of Tower of Power. Tonight for the first time in Hengelo!
