Dutch Jazz Heritage series

Reliving legendary jazz concerts in music, images and stories

In the ‘50s and “60s”, greats like Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan left a smashing impression in the famous night concerts at The Concertgebouw, a concert series that has gained an almost mythical status. After that, jazz took off in the Netherlands and we also got our own musical heroes.

In the Dutch Jazz Heritage series, together with the Dutch Jazz Archive, we reconstruct these legendary performances, heroes and moments from jazz history - in the atmosphere of the time. You will see unique visual material, hear stories from eyewitnesses such as music journalist Bert Vuijsje and, above all, there will be lots of music. At each concert, we present well-known soloists and up-and-coming jazz talent. JOC brings the jazz of the past to the present with new arrangements.
