The National Youth Jazz Orchestra is the breeding ground for top talent in the Dutch jazz scene. Led by the innovative guitarist and composer Reinier Baas, the NJJO lifts a new generation of musicians to great heights. For this edition, Baas puts together an orchestra that learns to unite the process of improvisation with a wide range of influences from genres other than jazz.

The challenge is found in the combination, and the balance between challenging the musicians and keeping the audience engaged. Expect fresh energy, boundless improvisation and an innovative sound from these young jazz talents, led by one of Holland’s most exceptional guitarists.

Catchy jazz by Canadian bass veteran and his Dutch band.

Zack Lober double bass, Suzan Veneman trumpet, Sun-Mi Hong drums, Jasper Blom tenor saxophone

Salseros and salseras, pay attention: we will bring sensation this summer at the tenth edition of Salsa Panorama, with no other than Alain Pérez and his orchestra. This band leader and singer was born in Manaca Iznaga, Cuba, and started performing at the age of eight. He became a conductor, arranger, producer and composer in various genres, from salsa to flamenco and jazz. He has worked with a huge variety of artists including stars such as Paco de Lucía, Estrella Morente, Celia Cruz, Chucho Valdés, Issac Delgado and Miguel Poveda. For this edition, Alain Pérez will perform with the twelve members of his orchestra.

After the concert the music will continue with a Cuban salsa party at our café with an incredible view, where everybody is invited to dance. With or without experience, everybody is welcome. Salsa Panorama, organized by Salsa District, has become a tradition at the BIMHUIS: this is the ninth edition already.

American all-star band led by renowned double bassist, who balances melody and freedom.

Logan Richardson alto sax, Seamus Blake tenor sax, Joe Sanders bass, Greg Hutchinson drums

For Joe Sanders, Parallels started with an improvised solo he played as an encore at a concert, after which the audience kept singing the melody. On the eponymous album he lets different ideas coexist. Beautiful tunes and experimental sounds, for example, or a dark atmosphere and a cheerful tonality, but also amateurism and professionalism: on the track ‘La vie sur la terre’ his little son Elioté plays along on melodica.

Parallels developed into a band featuring absolute masters of American jazz: Seamus Blake, Gregory Hutchinson and Logan Richardson have each built their own impressive career as a band leader. Joes Sanders has previously performed on our stage in the bands of Gerald Clayton, Kendrick Scott and Ben Wendel, among others. In 2023 he made his first appearance with saxophone giant Joshua Redman on the Blue Note album Where Are We.

Versatile American star pianist leads the Rising Star Jazz Group of the Year in the Downbeat Critics Poll.

Sullivan Fortner piano, Tyrone Allen bass, Kayvan Gordon drums

Pianist Sullivan Fortner describes his core principles as a belief in swing and the power and majesty of the blues. His talent became apparent while playing in the King Solomon Baptist Church in New Orleans. For years he accompanied star players of American jazz such as Roy Hargrove, Christian Scott, and Stefon Harris. Through that he developed his versatile and virtuosic style. Now he will come to the fore with his trio, which was voted Rising Star Jazz Group of the Year in the most recent Downbeat Critics Poll.

Sullivan Fortner won a Grammy for his contribution to The Window, the album that he created with the young jazz diva Cécile McLorin Salvant. Together they gave a memorable duo performance on our stage. He also played here with Roy Hargrove, John Scofield, Peter Bernstein, and Ben Wendel. Previously he has reached the top position in the Downbeat Critics Polls in no less than three categories: Rising Star Jazz Artist, Rising Star Pianist and Rising Star Arranger. The new album by the Sullivan Fortner Trio will appear on the Artwork/PIAS label.

‘The goal is to start to break the barriers of genre. I’m trying to dispel all of these rules and say, “Look at these songs as just songs and look at music as just music. Get your hands dirty with deconstructing things, with reconstructing things.” We definitely have a good time with it’ (Sullivan Fortner in an interview with Downbeat, September 2024).

Tribute to the survivors and the dreamers, fusing vocals and strings.

Nawras Altaky oud/vocals, Oene Van Geel viola/trombone, Teis Semey guitar, Marianne Noordink ney/flute, Kinan Abuakel buzuk, Remy Dielemans double bass, Udo Demandt percussion

In the BIMHUIS Productions series REFLEX we invite musicians to reflect on the world and society. This edition revolves around the new compositions for the project premiere ‘Arise!’ by Nawras Altaky. Coming from Syria, the singer and player of the oud, the Arabic lute, formed his own ensemble with well-known musicians from The Netherlands.

‘Arise!’ is a tribute to the unwavering spirit of survivors around the world, a reminder that within each of us lies the potential for greatness, waiting for an opportunity to blossom. Nawras dedicates this performance to all those who dare to dream, who keep their hope alive, and who contribute their unique light to the journey of life.

What makes Nawras Altaky’s music and improvisations special is the way he organically combines jazz, Arabic maqam, classical counterpoint and elements from contemporary music. His enemble features players that have appeared on our stage before, such as viola player Oene van Geel and guitarist Teis Semey.

‘Altaky has a fascinating, warm baritone with which he can sing with breathtaking, colourful softness, effectively building up tension through his sublime sense of timing’ (NRC).

REFLEX is supported by Ammodo.
