The past, present and future of jazz
The North Sea Jazz Festival is world-renowned for the many musical genres which it offers each year, ranging from traditional New Orleans jazz, swing, bop, free jazz, fusion, avant garde jazz and elctronic jazz to blues, gospel, funk, soul, hiphop, r&b, world beat and latin.
Consequently the list of musicians and bands who have performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival over the years reads like a virtual "A to Z" of jazz and jazz-related music: from Nat Adderley, Erykah Badu and The Brecker Brothers to Miles Davis, Ibrahim Ferrer, Ella Fitzgerald, Lionel Hampton, Al Jarreau, B.B. King, Wynton Marsalis, Bugge Wesseltoft, John Zorn and Joe Zawinul, to name but a few. In addition the North Sea Jazz Festival has also served as a breaking-ground for the introduction of new, hot talent. Some of the names who were first introduced at the North Sea Jazz Festival to European audiences include Shirley Horn, Tania Maria, Roy Hargrove and Rachelle Ferrell. That is what makes the North Sea Jazz Festival so unique; a presentation of the past, present and future of jazz music in three days, all under one roof! During the years the event has become a prestigious jazzfestival, which was declared several times 'Best Festival in Europe' by the leading jazz magazine JazzTimes. North Sea Jazz The Hague was also listed in Time Magazine's Top Ten Events of the World.
