Han Litz is one of Amsterdam’s most versatile jazz flutists, known for blending jazz with influences from soul, funk, Brazilian, African, dance, and tribal music. His playing is deeply rooted in groove and connection. As he describes it: “While performing, I want to evoke that ‘house feeling’, boost the energy level, make people feel free, and create unity.” Based in Amsterdam, Han has built an international career as a performer, composer, arranger, and producer. His distinctive flute sound can be heard across a wide range of recordings and collaborations within the global jazz, soul, and dance music scenes. Alongside his work with other artists, he also leads the Han Litz Group, releasing music that has been well received by both the industry and the Dutch press. As a mentor, Han brings decades of stage and studio experience into the classroom in a calm and thoughtful way. His lessons focus not only on technique, but also on musicality, groove, and understanding the role of the flute within different musical styles. Students who are curious can also explore the background and history of the instrument, discovering how the flute can move far beyond its traditional role. The flute often gets underestimated, but it’s an instrument with enormous creative potential. Whether through improvisation, tone, rhythm, or simply learning how to make the instrument truly speak, Han helps students discover just how expressive the flute can be. When booking a lesson with Han, expect a relaxed learning environment, deep musical insight, and guidance from an artist who has spent years exploring the true potential of wind instruments.
