On 10, 11 and 12 July, the crème de la crème of jazz, soul, RnB and every sub-genre under its collective sun will descend upon Rotterdam’s glamorous south side for the 50th edition of North Sea Jazz. That’s right, the Benelux’s premier indoor jazz et al festival will mark half a century of memorable moments this year, with another memorable line-up to boot. From jazz pure enough to satisfy gatekeepers to disco legends and soul icons – alongside a mouthwatering undercard of new talent – North Sea Jazz never fails to disappoint when it comes to stacking its line-up with things you want to see. Today we look at six artists who need little introduction, and who you absolutely should not miss at the Rotterdam Ahoy this summer. We’ll let the music do the talking…
