Super-Sonic Jazz
Talent development platform Super-Sonic Jazz was founded in 2016 in Amsterdam as a series of concerts and club nights at the iconic Paradiso venue to provide a stage for the new wave of contemporary jazz musicians. A little later an annual festival and the launch of the independent record label called Super-Sonic Jazz Records followed.
With experimental programming that blends traditional jazz with contemporary genres such as hip-hop, neo-soul, R&B and electronic music, Super-Sonic Jazz pushes the boundaries of what jazz culture means to listeners, enthusiasts and artists alike.
About us
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.
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.
