Super-Sonic Jazz

Super-Sonic Jazz is an Amsterdam-based non-profit platform for exciting artists who move within the universe of jazz. We release music on our independent record label, and in collaboration with Paradiso, we organize concerts, jams, and the annual Super-Sonic Jazz Festival. 

Since 2017, the Super-Sonic Jazz Festival has been a prominent fixture in Amsterdam's cultural landscape, offering a diverse lineup of groundbreaking Dutch and international acts. Held across various venues in Amsterdam, including historic churches, our festival provides a unique platform for intimate performances and uninhibited improvisation, bridging the gap between global and local talent.

Past editions of the festival have featured electrifying performances by renowned artists such as Ezra Collective, Kiefer, Bilal, 30/70, MonoNeon, and KOKOROKO, captivating audiences with their boundary-pushing music.

Launched in March 2024, the Super-Sonic Jam is a monthly gathering at Skatecafe in Amsterdam Noord, fostering a vibrant community of musicians and music enthusiasts. Featuring live performances, jam sessions, and networking opportunities, this inclusive event serves as a hub for artistic experimentation and collaboration. Curated by experienced drummer Emmanuel 'Els di Incredible' Afriyie, the Super-Sonic Jam offers a unique space for musicians to showcase their talents, connect with industry professionals, and cultivate new musical projects in an interactive setting.

Super-Sonic Jazz Records operates as a non-profit label committed to spotlighting music from Dutch and international artists. Centered on physical releases, we strive to offer emerging Dutch talents a platform for their music and help them amplify their presence within the jazz community. By investing in these artists this early in their careers, we cultivate ongoing promotion and celebrate the vibrant Dutch music scene.
