ABOUTFor many, his concert at the North Sea Jazz Festival in 2000 was one of the best shows ever seen in the Netherlands. On that sensational evening D’Angelo showed he is an outstanding bandleader as well as a charismatic multi-instrumentalist.

Seal - Against My Window [HD] | North Sea Jazz 2009 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-10-13 | Date & Location: SUNDAY 12 JULY 2009 • NILE • Ahoy, Rotterdam, The NetherlandsLINEUPSeal (vocals); Sarah Field (trumpet, baritone sax, backing vocals); Georgina Bromilow (trumpet, backing vocals); Carol Jarvis (trombone, backing vocals); Claire Mcinerney (sax, backing vocals); Mark Summerlin (guitar, backing vocals); Marcus Brown (bass, keyboards, backing vocals); Steve Sidelnyk (drums).ABOUT this concert, press release of 2009The professional career of Sealhenry Olusegun Olumide Samuel, as is Seal's full name, appeared to have reached a dead end after about ten years without a hit. But his personality had made him into a superstar, as did his marriage with the German super model Heidi Klum. With the aid of the successful Canadian producer David Foster, who was also responsible for the productions of Earth, Wind & Fire and, more recently, Michael Bublé, he recorded SOUL last year. With only the best musicians, classics like A Chance Is Gonna Come (Sam Cooke), Knock on Wood (Eddie Floyd) and It's a Man's Man's Man's World (James Brown) were recorded in the producer's own home. During his live show, Seal will surely reach back to major hits of the 90s, like Killer, Crazy and Kiss from a Rose. The most important thing, however, is that the superstar is feeling really good at the moment and is scoring big hits again.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Paul Weller - All on a Misty Morning [HD] | North Sea Jazz (2006) North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-10-12 | PAUL WELLERSUNDAY 16 JULY 2006 • NILE • 21:00 - 22:15LINEUPPaul Weller (vocals, electric guitar, piano); Steve Cradrock (vocals, guitar); Jacko Peake (soprano sax, tenor sax); Damon Minchella (bass); Steve White (drums); Benjamin Herman (alto sax, baritone sax); Jan van Duikeren (flugelhorn, trumpet); Louk Boudesteijn (trombone).ABOUTPaul Weller used to be the singer-songwriter of The Jam, the most popular British band of the punk era. The funny thing about The Jam was that the band more or less kept punk at arm's length from the very start and sounded more like a modern version of The Who. Just before Weller took the initiative to disband The Jam in 1982, the leader became more and more fascinated by jazz, Motown and soul - a fascination that would lead to The Jam's demise and the founding of The Style Council. Pianist Mick Talbot was responsible for the jazzy streak in the songs and Weller's lyrics - Dropping Bombs on the White House - became more and more grim. After the success of the debut album Café Bleu Weller and Talbot became over-ambitious and over-eclectic, a change that caused a breach with their audience at the end of the eighties. Weller provoked a glorious comeback with his first, title less solo album (1992), followed by the classic albums Wild Wood (1993) and Stanley Road (1995). Last year, after the cover album Studio 150 (with songs by Neil Young, Bart Bacharach and Noel Gallagher), Weller released As Is Now, a collection of songs that was received as one of his better solo albums. On his last two albums he worked with a Dutch horn section, including Benjamin Herman.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

This man from Pittsburgh grew up as a talented guitarist noticeably influenced by the legendary Wes Montgomery. In the 1960s, it was Miles Davis who first recognized his talent and asked him to play on the album Miles in the Sky. In the 70s, Benson took a more commercial direction and this delivered him immediate success. Songs like On Broadway and Give Me the Night are among the classics that he still performs. But Benson is a man who is also slowly turning to styles like smooth jazz and R&B. In 2006, he recorded the album Givin' It Up with Al Jarreau. They won a Grammy for the album and did a world tour together. At the festival, Benson will be focusing on the repertoire of Nat King Cole. Last year, he toured successfully with this project in his own country.During this tribute, Benson performs his own interpretations of classics like Stardust, Looking Back and Nature Boy. He is currently working on a new album together with the guitarist and keyboards player of Toto.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Solomon Burke - I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free [HD] | North Sea Jazz (2003) North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-10-10 | Today we remember the great Solomon Burke who attended the North Sea Jazz Festival in 2003. His unfortunate death was 15 years ago in the Netherlands on his way to a tour of the Netherlands. Date & location: FRIDAY 11 JULY 2003 • STATENHALL Congress Centre - The Hague - The NetherlandsSolomon Vincent McDonald Burke (born James Solomon McDonald, March 21, 1940 – October 10, 2010) was an American singer who shaped the sound of rhythm and blues as one of the founding fathers of soul music in the 1960s. He has been called "a key transitional figure bridging R&B and soul", and was known for his "prodigious output".On October 10, 2010, Burke died at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport while on a plane from Washington Dulles International Airport that had just landed. He had been due to perform with Dutch rockgroup De Dijk in Amsterdam on October 12. Burke died of natural causes. LINEUPCandy Burke, Selassie Burke, Solomon Burke (vocals); Carle Vickers (sax, trumpet); Joseph Kalet (sax); Julia Cunningham (harp); Rrok Jakaj (violin); Kenneth Meredith (trumpet); Lynn Duckett, Nico Di Battista, Sam Mayfield (guitar); Millard Jackson (keyboards); Rudy Copeland (organ); Eddie Towns (bass); David Lopez (percussion).ABOUT -Press release of the concertIf anyone made a conspicuous comeback last year, it was legendary sixties soulman Solomon Burke. Supremely in command of his raw, deeply gospel-rooted voice, the singer, whose nickname is The Bishop of Soul, is up and at 'em again. Last year, at a concert in Paradiso, Burke demonstrated that he still is the undisputed king of soul. Seated upon his throne, he proved able to pull out all the stops. From deep, subdued rumbling to loud, heartfelt cries, Burke managed to produce this range of sounds effortlessly, sometimes all in one breath. It also became apparent that evening what a huge performer the American is. He felt noticeably comfortable as the center of attention and, ever the charmer, handed out roses to the ladies in the audience. His well-received album Don't Give Up On Me is also a clear sign that Burke is back in town, since scoring big hits for the record company Atlantic - at the time one of the better labels in jazz, soul and blues - from 1960 on. Burke has mastered songs by old names like Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Brian Wilson and Van Morrison with ease. Now that Burke is smack in the spotlight again, this big artist - who also runs a limousine service, a funeral parlor and a number of churches - is busier than ever. Especially now that that a big hit, made together with the Dutch Junkie XL, is on its way.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Brecker Brothers Band Reunion - Full Concert [HD] | Live at North Sea Jazz Festival 2013 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-10-09 | SATURDAY 13 JULY 2013 • MAAS • Rotterdam Ahoy, The NetherlandsLINEUPAda Rovatti (tenor saxophone); Randy Brecker (trumpet); Dean Brown (guitar); George Whitty (keyboards); Chris Minh Doky (bass); Dave Weckl (drums).ABOUTIn the seventies and eighties trumpeter Randy and saxophonist Michael Brecker released a couple of outstanding fusion records. The brothers also worked as session musicians on albums of legendary artists like Todd Rundgren and Frank Zappa. In those years composer Randy was the mastermind behind the brothers' surprising compositions that are characterized by an utterly unpredictable structure and complex and harmonious melody lines. After a total silence of ten years, the brothers come together again in 1992 and two years later won a Grammy for Out Of The Loop (1994). When Michael passed away in 2007, Randy decided to bring together a Brecker Brothers Band Reunion with guitarist Dean Brown, keyboardist George Whitty, bassist Chris Minh Doky and drummer Dave Weckl. On the shoulders of the Italian talent Ada Rovatti lies the heavy duty to bring new life to the characteristic sax sound of Michael during the tribute show of this supergroup.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Gregory Porter - In Fashion [HD] | North Sea Jazz 2016 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-10-07 | American singer Gregory Porter received a lifetime achievement award yesterday, Monday October 6, 2025 at the Edison Jazz and Classical Music Awards, one of the most important Dutch music awards. Porter won the award in the Jazz category,.Porter (53) flew especially to the Netherlands to accept the bronze statuette and also performed a show during the ceremony in Leusden. "Gregory Porter embraces influences of blues, reggae, and gospel with open arms in his music, thereby building a bridge between different cultures," the jury explained in their presentation to Porter. "He has the skill of translating personal stories into songs, expressing emotions that resonate worldwide."Date & Location: SUNDAY 10 JULY 2016 • MAAS • Ahoy hall, Rotterdam, The NetherlandsLINEUPGregory Porter (vocals); Tivon Pennicott (saxophone); Albert 'Chip' Crawford (piano); Jahmal Nichols (bass); Emanuel Harrold (drums).Gregory Porter (born November 4, 1971) is an American singer, songwriter and actor. He has twice won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album: first in 2014 for Liquid Spirit and then again in 2017 for Take Me to the Alley. ABOUT - press release at the timeThe way American singer Gregory Porter has worked on his solo career these past years is impressive. By performing a lot, and leaving a lasting impression with each concert, he has built a huge fan base. Porter's warm and mature sound is very attractive to many. Yet it could all have transpired so differently. Porter was on his way to becoming an American football star, when a shoulder injury put a spoke in the wheel. While injured he accidentally attended a jam session and this led to an obsession for making music. Porter, who is now past forty, will not have had a single regret. After three powerful albums, he is regarded as one of the best jazz singers of today. His new album Take Me To The Alley will be released in early May. It's self-explanatory that he has often performed at North Sea Jazz, where he already appeared in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Since its release the singer has performed in big television shows like the Soul Train Award Show, and her songs get regular airplay on all music radio stations. Her music, that she describes as ‘back porch soul’ (because it is a rough and honest style that makes her reminisce of the warm summer days of her youth, when they used to sing and play the blues on the porch) is impressive. Her powerful voice displays all colors in the varied rhythm & blues, funk, soul and gospel repertoire. The L.A. born and raised singer initially envisaged a career as a sprinter but a knee injury made an end to that dream and thus James consecrated more time to music. Her father brought her up with the music of B.B. King, Al Green and Marvin Gaye, but since she sang in the local church, she was also interested in gospel.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

It happened to Roy Ayers and this special event was to be the beginning of a career that proved to be more than just a career in jazz.

In the eighties he founded Uno Melodic, his own record label. Today Roy Ayers is considered to be, and honoured as, one of the driving forces behind acid jazz.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

After many variations in name and line-up, the quartet eventually evolved into a sextet calling itself Take 6. Take 6 is made up of McKnight and Mark Kibble, Cedric Dent, David Thomas, Alvin Chea and Joey Kibble. Take 6 purposely presents itself as a Christian group. In interviews McKnight say he doesn't want to ram the Bible down people's throats. “We have wrapped up the message attractively through our music and we hope people have picked something up after our concerts.” Musical the group counts as one of the most swinging close-harmony groups with a strong influence of R&B. Quincy Jones used the group on his trail-blazing albums Back on the Block and Q's Jook Joint.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Gregory Porter - Consequence of Love [HD] | North Sea Jazz 2016 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-09-30 | Date & Location: SUNDAY 10 JULY 2016 • MAAS • Ahoy hall, Rotterdam, The NetherlandsLINEUPGregory Porter (vocals); Tivon Pennicott (saxophone); Albert 'Chip' Crawford (piano); Jahmal Nichols (bass); Emanuel Harrold (drums).Gregory Porter (born November 4, 1971) is an American singer, songwriter and actor. He has twice won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album: first in 2014 for Liquid Spirit and then again in 2017 for Take Me to the Alley. ABOUT - press release at the timeThe way American singer Gregory Porter has worked on his solo career these past years is impressive. By performing a lot, and leaving a lasting impression with each concert, he has built a huge fan base. Porter's warm and mature sound is very attractive to many. Yet it could all have transpired so differently. Porter was on his way to becoming an American football star, when a shoulder injury put a spoke in the wheel. While injured he accidentally attended a jam session and this led to an obsession for making music. Porter, who is now past forty, will not have had a single regret. After three powerful albums, he is regarded as one of the best jazz singers of today. His new album Take Me To The Alley will be released in early May. It's self-explanatory that he has often performed at North Sea Jazz, where he already appeared in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Solomon Burke - If You Need Me, Tonights The Night, Hell Have To Go,, Amen | North Sea Jazz 2003 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-09-29 | Date & location: FRIDAY 11 JULY 2003 • STATENHALL Congress Centre - The Hague - The Netherlands. Medley:If You Need MeTonight's The NightHe'll Have To GoGot To Get You Off Of My MindHaving A PartyAmenSolomon Vincent McDonald Burke (born James Solomon McDonald, March 21, 1940 – October 10, 2010) was an American singer who shaped the sound of rhythm and blues as one of the founding fathers of soul music in the 1960s. He has been called "a key transitional figure bridging R&B and soul", and was known for his "prodigious output".On October 10, 2010, Burke died at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport while on a plane from Washington Dulles International Airport that had just landed. He had been due to perform with Dutch rockgroup De Dijk in Amsterdam on October 12. Burke died of natural causes. LINEUPCandy Burke, Selassie Burke, Solomon Burke (vocals); Carle Vickers (sax, trumpet); Joseph Kalet (sax); Julia Cunningham (harp); Rrok Jakaj (violin); Kenneth Meredith (trumpet); Lynn Duckett, Nico Di Battista, Sam Mayfield (guitar); Millard Jackson (keyboards); Rudy Copeland (organ); Eddie Towns (bass); David Lopez (percussion).ABOUT -Press release of the concertIf anyone made a conspicuous comeback last year, it was legendary sixties soulman Solomon Burke. Supremely in command of his raw, deeply gospel-rooted voice, the singer, whose nickname is The Bishop of Soul, is up and at 'em again. Last year, at a concert in Paradiso, Burke demonstrated that he still is the undisputed king of soul. Seated upon his throne, he proved able to pull out all the stops. From deep, subdued rumbling to loud, heartfelt cries, Burke managed to produce this range of sounds effortlessly, sometimes all in one breath. It also became apparent that evening what a huge performer the American is. He felt noticeably comfortable as the center of attention and, ever the charmer, handed out roses to the ladies in the audience. His well-received album Don't Give Up On Me is also a clear sign that Burke is back in town, since scoring big hits for the record company Atlantic - at the time one of the better labels in jazz, soul and blues - from 1960 on. Burke has mastered songs by old names like Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Brian Wilson and Van Morrison with ease. Now that Burke is smack in the spotlight again, this big artist - who also runs a limousine service, a funeral parlor and a number of churches - is busier than ever. Especially now that that a big hit, made together with the Dutch Junkie XL, is on its way.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

The Neville Brothers - Brother John/Iko Iko | North Sea Jazz 2006 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-09-28 | Date & location: SATURDAY 15 JULY 2006 • NILE • Ahoy Hall, Rotterdam, The NetherlandsLINEUPAaron Neville (vocals); Art Neville (vocals, organ); Cyril Neville (vocals, percussion); Ivan Neville (vocals, keyboards); Charles Neville (horn); Ian Neville, Makuni Fukuda (guitar); Nick Daniels (bass); Willie Green (drums).The Neville Brothers were an American R&B/soul/funk group, formed in 1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana.The group started in 1976, when the four brothers of the Neville family, Art (1937–2019), Charles (1938–2018), Aaron (b. 1941), and Cyril (b. 1948) came together to take part in the recording session of the Wild Tchoupitoulas, a Mardi Gras Indian group led by the Nevilles' uncle, George Landry ("Big Chief Jolly"). Their debut album The Neville Brothers was released in 1978 on Capitol Records.In 1987, the group released Uptown on the EMI label, featuring guests including Branford Marsalis, Keith Richards, and Carlos Santana. The following year saw the release of Yellow Moon from A&M Records produced by Daniel Lanois.ABOUT - This is the press release of this concert in 2006:It boggles the mind when you realise that the Brothers Neville haven been in the music business for more than 40 years. Although Aaron, Art, Charles and Cyril Neville didn’t start performing under the name The Neville Brothers until the end of the seventies, their individual ànd collective careers commenced in 1953. In that year Art started playing the piano in his high school band The Hawkettes. A year later the band recorded the single Mardi Gras Mambo, a song that has become the unofficial anthem of the Mardi Gras, of New Orleans’ carnival. In the meantime Aaron and Charles had already joined the band. The brothers had started working with producer Allen Toussaint and as a solo-artist Aaron scored hits like Over You and Tell It Like It Is. The founding in 1967 of the band Art Neville and the Sounds is generally seen as the first attempt to gather all brothers under one family name and after a few changes of personnel The Sounds could boast a rhythm section that later on would enjoy world fame under the name The Meters. 1977 is the official birth year of a group that first would be called The Neville Brothers Family Band, but soon was re-baptized The Neville Brothers. The Daniel Lanois produced album Yellow Moon (1989) yielding hits like With God On Our Side and Sister Rosa. In 2004, half a century after Mardi Gras Mambo and after five years of silence, The Neville Brothers released the autobiographical album Walkin’ In The Shadows Of Life.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

He has also played at many festivals, but he has never performed at the North Sea Jazz Festival. This summer, the English singer-songwriter is finally coming to Rotterdam. Morrison's voice has a smoky edge to it, in his own words the result of a bout of whooping cough in his childhood. After traveling around a lot with his mother, he arrived in Cornwall as a teenager and began performing as a street musician. His first single You Give Me Something (2006) was an immediate hit. Last fall Morrison released his third album, The Awakening, his most personal recording to date. Morrison recently became at once a father for the first time and lost his own father. He speaks to his father and daughter respectively in moving songs like Up and One Life.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

In the last few years the singer could mostly be seen performing in life size events in the gambling city of LasVegas, but ever since his CD Rock Swings - in which eighties and nineties pop and rock songs were subjected to a swing metamorphosis- he's back again. Canadian born, but residing in California for years now, he started his massive career as a teenage idol with hits like Diana and Put Your Head On My Shoulder. As a songwriter he procured countless artists, including Buddy Holly, 'Rat Packer' Sammy Davis Jr and Tom Jones, with beautiful songs.

Esperanza Spalding - Full Concert [HD] | Live at North Sea Jazz Festival 2011 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-09-19 | Esperenza Spalding Chamber Music SocietyFRIDAY 08 JULY 2011 • AMAZON • Rotterdam Ahoy, The NetherlandsLINEUPEsperanza Spalding (lead vocals, double bass); Leala Cyr (backing vocals); Sara Caswell (violin); Olivia de Prato (viola); Jody Redhage (cello); Leonardo Genovese (piano); Richie Barshay (drums).ABOUTWhen discussing Esperanza Spalding, one should of course talk about jazz. But this is a bit difficult in the year she won a Grammy Award, and beat teen idol Justin Bieber, in the category Best New Artist. It's a bit strange as well, because her most recent album, Chamber Music Society, doesn't relate to the genre of pop music at all. Though Spalding certainly appeals to a younger audience. The bass player and singer from Portland looks great and is known to make accurate statements, like: "I'm not ashamed of anything. I like bizarre contrasts in music and I would never be able to express them all within the boundaries of jazz." However, unconsciously she does seem to be the appointed bridge-builder for a new generation of jazz lovers. Her music has many influences like jazz, folk, world music, as well as classical music. The artist herself has found a name for it: "Spalding music. Let's call it that."Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Rufus Wainwright - 14th Street [HD] | North Sea Jazz (2012) North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-09-16 | Rufus Wainwright and his band | Live at North Sea Jazz (2012)Date & Location: SATURDAY 07 JULY 2012 • MAAS • 21:45 - 23:00, Ahoy Hall, Rotterdam, The NetherlandsLine-Up:Rufus Wainwright (lead vocals, guitar, piano); Krystle Warren, Charysse Blackman (backing vocals); Tim Ries (saxophone, keyboards, vocals); Teddy Thompson, Sharier Hobley (guitar, vocals); Brad Albetta (bass, vocals); Ben Perowsky; Andrew Burton.ABOUTOn the pop scene, Rufus Wainwright (1973) needs no introduction. The American-Canadian singer-songwriter has blazed a trail across the world of theater and opera and as a movie actor. Wainwright has experienced personal turmoil recently because his mother, folk singer Kate McGarrigle, passed away, his daughter Viva was born and he announced his engagement to Jorn Weisbrodt. The echoes of these life events can be heard on his latest album Out Of The Game. It was produced by Grammy winner Mark Ronson, known for his productions with Amy Winehouse and Adele, among others. Ronson and Wainwright appear to share a preference for music from the 1970s. The songwriting of Harry Nilsson and Elton John and the warm, grooving sound of Steely Dan were the inspiration for Out Of The Game. The album is Wainwright's most accessible record so far. His warm voice and classically oriented piano playing can be experienced to their best in Ronson's soulful and richly orchestrated production work.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

The Neville Brothers - One Love | North Sea Jazz 2006 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-09-14 | Date & location: SATURDAY 15 JULY 2006 • NILE • Ahoy Hall, Rotterdam, The NetherlandsLINEUPAaron Neville (vocals); Art Neville (vocals, organ); Cyril Neville (vocals, percussion); Ivan Neville (vocals, keyboards); Charles Neville (horn); Ian Neville, Makuni Fukuda (guitar); Nick Daniels (bass); Willie Green (drums).The Neville Brothers were an American R&B/soul/funk group, formed in 1976 in New Orleans, Louisiana.The group started in 1976, when the four brothers of the Neville family, Art (1937–2019), Charles (1938–2018), Aaron (b. 1941), and Cyril (b. 1948) came together to take part in the recording session of the Wild Tchoupitoulas, a Mardi Gras Indian group led by the Nevilles' uncle, George Landry ("Big Chief Jolly"). Their debut album The Neville Brothers was released in 1978 on Capitol Records.In 1987, the group released Uptown on the EMI label, featuring guests including Branford Marsalis, Keith Richards, and Carlos Santana. The following year saw the release of Yellow Moon from A&M Records produced by Daniel Lanois.ABOUT - This is the press release of this concert in 2006:It boggles the mind when you realise that the Brothers Neville haven been in the music business for more than 40 years. Although Aaron, Art, Charles and Cyril Neville didn’t start performing under the name The Neville Brothers until the end of the seventies, their individual ànd collective careers commenced in 1953. In that year Art started playing the piano in his high school band The Hawkettes. A year later the band recorded the single Mardi Gras Mambo, a song that has become the unofficial anthem of the Mardi Gras, of New Orleans’ carnival. In the meantime Aaron and Charles had already joined the band. The brothers had started working with producer Allen Toussaint and as a solo-artist Aaron scored hits like Over You and Tell It Like It Is. The founding in 1967 of the band Art Neville and the Sounds is generally seen as the first attempt to gather all brothers under one family name and after a few changes of personnel The Sounds could boast a rhythm section that later on would enjoy world fame under the name The Meters. 1977 is the official birth year of a group that first would be called The Neville Brothers Family Band, but soon was re-baptized The Neville Brothers. The Daniel Lanois produced album Yellow Moon (1989) yielding hits like With God On Our Side and Sister Rosa. In 2004, half a century after Mardi Gras Mambo and after five years of silence, The Neville Brothers released the autobiographical album Walkin’ In The Shadows Of Life.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Blige (vocals); Antoinette Schruggs, Ashley Washington, Sharon Bennett (backing vocals); Raymond Hinton (guitar); Stephen Freeman (keyboards); Derrick Ray (bass); Rexsell Hardy (drums).ABOUTWith eight platinum albums, nine Grammys and 50 million records sold, worldwide, Mary J. Blige is one of the greatest soul stars of the past decades. Yet the ‘Queen of Hip-Hop Soul’ only now debuts at the North Sea Jazz Festival. A moment her many fans, as well as the organizers, have been looking forward to. No one is able to capture as much emotion and strength in their voice as Mary J. Blige. The singer was born in 1971 in the Bronx to a nurse and a jazz musician. At the beginning of the nineties, she was one of the first to combine soulful vocals with pumping hip hop beats, a concept that would form the blueprint of contemporary soul and R&B. For her most recent album, The London Sessions, from 2014, Blige travelled to the capital of England, where she went in search of a new sound, collaborating with young stars like Sam Smith, Emeli Sandé, Naughty Boy and Disclosure.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Yuri Buenaventura - Full Concert [HD] | Live at North Sea Jazz Festival 2009 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-09-12 | SUNDAY 12 JULY 2009 • MAAS • Rotterdam Ahoy, The NetherlandsLINEUPYuri Buenaventura (vocals); Mayquel Gonzalez Gonzalez (trumpet); Ernesto Camilo Vega Perez (sax, clarinet); Abel Marcel Calderon Arias (piano); Narciso Jorge Reyes Hernandez (double bass); Rayhner Amir Lasserie Echegoy (drums); Tomas Ramos Ortiz (percussion); Jose Luis Quintana Fuertes (timbales).ABOUTWhen you are born in South America, music seems to come so naturally, as if it runs in your blood. Yet, Colombian Yuri Buenaventura only found his music in Europe. In the French capital Paris, where he studied Economics, he used to sing in metrostations to earn an extra penny. But when the 'Latin fever' broke out in France at the beginning of the 90s, Buenaventura quickly acted on it and started his first band. His salsa cover of Jacques Brel's Ne Me Quitte Pas made his international breakthrough and with his debut album Herencia Africana (1996) he earned a gold record in his home country. Not only are songs written by Buenaventura very danceable and exhilarating, he also has a message to convey. Most of his lyrics are critical of politics and society. Still, the 40-year-old singer is mainly an artist to enjoy. A fresh counterweight for the 'old boys' from Cuba, with a live act that seems to sparkle.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Richard Bona & Raul Midón - Full Concert [HD] | Live at North Sea Jazz Festival 2011 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-09-11 | SUNDAY 10 JULY 2011 • MAAS • Rotterdam AhoyLINEUPRaul Midón (vocals, guitar); Richard Bona (vocals, bass); Etienne Stadwijk (keyboards); Lionel Cordew (drums).ABOUTAt the first edition of the Curaçao North Sea Jazz Festival in 2010, bassist-vocalist Richard Bona had the audience wrapped around his finger. Although they could not understand his words (Bona sings in Douala, a Cameroonian dialect), his personality, the transparency of the songs and his hypnotic playing easily won the hearts of his listeners. He recently released the album The Ten Shades Of Blues, with music derived from the blues. This summer, he is touring Europe with Raul Midón. The blind guitarist-vocalist (born in New Mexico) is known for his dizzying percussive guitar playing in which he blends jazz and flamenco as a matter of course. His soulful voice is for many reminiscent of Stevie Wonder and he can use the mouth horn effectively in songs, with his lips imitating a bebop trumpet. Midón has not yet performed with a band in the Netherlands, so this collaboration promises to be something special.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Solomon Burke - Diamond In Your Mind [HD] | North Sea Jazz (2003) North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-09-09 | Date & location: FRIDAY 11 JULY 2003 • STATENHALL Congress Centre - The Hague - The NetherlandsSolomon Vincent McDonald Burke (born James Solomon McDonald, March 21, 1940 – October 10, 2010) was an American singer who shaped the sound of rhythm and blues as one of the founding fathers of soul music in the 1960s. He has been called "a key transitional figure bridging R&B and soul", and was known for his "prodigious output".On October 10, 2010, Burke died at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport while on a plane from Washington Dulles International Airport that had just landed. He had been due to perform with Dutch rockgroup De Dijk in Amsterdam on October 12. Burke died of natural causes. LINEUPCandy Burke, Selassie Burke, Solomon Burke (vocals); Carle Vickers (sax, trumpet); Joseph Kalet (sax); Julia Cunningham (harp); Rrok Jakaj (violin); Kenneth Meredith (trumpet); Lynn Duckett, Nico Di Battista, Sam Mayfield (guitar); Millard Jackson (keyboards); Rudy Copeland (organ); Eddie Towns (bass); David Lopez (percussion).ABOUT -Press release of the concertIf anyone made a conspicuous comeback last year, it was legendary sixties soulman Solomon Burke. Supremely in command of his raw, deeply gospel-rooted voice, the singer, whose nickname is The Bishop of Soul, is up and at 'em again. Last year, at a concert in Paradiso, Burke demonstrated that he still is the undisputed king of soul. Seated upon his throne, he proved able to pull out all the stops. From deep, subdued rumbling to loud, heartfelt cries, Burke managed to produce this range of sounds effortlessly, sometimes all in one breath. It also became apparent that evening what a huge performer the American is. He felt noticeably comfortable as the center of attention and, ever the charmer, handed out roses to the ladies in the audience. His well-received album Don't Give Up On Me is also a clear sign that Burke is back in town, since scoring big hits for the record company Atlantic - at the time one of the better labels in jazz, soul and blues - from 1960 on. Burke has mastered songs by old names like Bob Dylan, Tom Waits, Brian Wilson and Van Morrison with ease. Now that Burke is smack in the spotlight again, this big artist - who also runs a limousine service, a funeral parlor and a number of churches - is busier than ever. Especially now that that a big hit, made together with the Dutch Junkie XL, is on its way.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Seal - A Change Is Gonna Come [HD] | North Sea Jazz 2009 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-09-08 | Date & Location: SUNDAY 12 JULY 2009 • NILE • Ahoy, Rotterdam, The NetherlandsLINEUPSeal (vocals); Sarah Field (trumpet, baritone sax, backing vocals); Georgina Bromilow (trumpet, backing vocals); Carol Jarvis (trombone, backing vocals); Claire Mcinerney (sax, backing vocals); Mark Summerlin (guitar, backing vocals); Marcus Brown (bass, keyboards, backing vocals); Steve Sidelnyk (drums).ABOUT this concert, press release of 2009The professional career of Sealhenry Olusegun Olumide Samuel, as is Seal's full name, appeared to have reached a dead end after about ten years without a hit. But his personality had made him into a superstar, as did his marriage with the German super model Heidi Klum. With the aid of the successful Canadian producer David Foster, who was also responsible for the productions of Earth, Wind & Fire and, more recently, Michael Bublé, he recorded SOUL last year. With only the best musicians, classics like A Chance Is Gonna Come (Sam Cooke), Knock on Wood (Eddie Floyd) and It's a Man's Man's Man's World (James Brown) were recorded in the producer's own home. During his live show, Seal will surely reach back to major hits of the 90s, like Killer, Crazy and Kiss from a Rose. The most important thing, however, is that the superstar is feeling really good at the moment and is scoring big hits again.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Raúl Paz - Full Concert [HD] | Live at North Sea Jazz Festival 2007 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-09-05 | Date & location: SATURDAY 14 JULY 2007 • MAAS • Rotterdam Ahoy, The NetherlandsLINEUPRaul Paz (lead vocals, guitar); Jose Ramon Cabrera Montes de Oca (accordion, piano); Rafael Paseiro (bass); Nicolas Dacunha (drums, percussion); Inor Sotolongo (percussion).ABOUTThe Cuban Parisian Raul Paz is immensely popular in France. The singer-songwriter has been stamped the front man of the Nuevo Latino movement. His steamy, swinging concerts, with rock, ska and soul influences, are really happening. But he also sings small, intimate songs from the heart. Paz was born in Pinar del Rio on Cuba. He emigrated to France to study classical music at the Paris Conservatory, but eventually he made a name for himself jamming in small clubs with Afro-Cuban musicians. In 1998, after being discovered, he went to New York and the 'French Cuban' was offered the opportunity to record an album brimming with sexy Latino pop. Back in Paris he makes popular dance orientated albums like Mulata ('03) and Revolución ('05). On his fifth album En Casa, Paz has returned to his Cuban roots. "It's an ode to the 20th century Cuban song", Paz told the daily paper nrc.next.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

And rightly so, because the collective surrounding saxophonist and front man Benjamin Herman has been among the world's best for years with a unique blend of jazz, afrobeat, dance, Latin and salsa. That the eight-member formation remains up to date is mainly due to the fact that these Dutch high-energy soul-jazz pioneers are able to re-invent and re-discover themselves again and again. Thus, New Cool Collective transforms itself regularly into a big band by adding eleven extra musicians and continuously looks for unusual collaborations, like the ones with afrobeat legend Tony Allen, poet Jules Deelder and Zwolle polder rapper Typhoon. In Ahoy, the Netherlands' most swinging jazz formation will mainly be playing pieces from the latest album that was released this spring. It is guaranteed to be a big party, as per usual.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Michael Kiwanuka - If Youd Dare [HD] | North Sea Jazz 2012 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-09-02 | Date & location: FRIDAY 06 JULY 2012 • MAAS • Ahoy Hall - Rotterdam - The NetherlandsMichael Samuel Kiwanuka (born 3 May 1987) is a British singer-songwriter and record producer who is signed with Polydor Records. His 2012 debut album, Home Again, went gold in the United Kingdom and his second album, Love & Hate, debuted in 2016 at number one. He has been nominated for numerous honours, including the Brit Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards, BBC Music Awards, and The Grammy Awards. In January 2012, he won the BBC's Sound of 2012; and, in September 2020, he won the Mercury Prize.LINEUPMichael Kiwanuka (vocals, guitar); Miles James (guitar); Steve Pringle (keyboards); Pete Randall (bass); Lewis Wright (drums); Graham Godfrey (percussion).ABOUT - press release at the time of the concert:Londoner Michael Kiwanuka, who is only in his early twenties, was relatively unknown when he appeared on the stage of Into The Great Wide Open and in a small hall at the Songbird festival in 2011, but this summer the whole world will be at his feet. That's how fast things can go if your debut album blazes across the internet. On Home Again Kiwanuka interweaves soul with storytelling folk music in ten beautifully arranged songs. He delivers music that puts him in the company of Bill Withers, Randy Newman and Otis Redding. Not the least to be compared with. Yet Kiwanuka is more than just a modern-day Marvin Gaye, because his arrangements carry the traits of musical omnivorism and his songs have the quality of modern craftsmanship that makes his music so up-to-date. It's for this good reason that a panel of music critics and industry figures selected Kiwanuka as the winner of the BBC's Sound Of 2012.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Paul Weller - The Changingman [HD] | North Sea Jazz (2006) North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-09-01 | Paul Weller - 'The Changingman' [HD] | North Sea Jazz (2006)SUNDAY 16 JULY 2006 • NILE • Rotterdam Ahoy, The NetherlandsLINEUPPaul Weller (vocals, electric guitar, piano); Steve Cradrock (vocals, guitar); Jacko Peake (soprano sax, tenor sax); Damon Minchella (bass); Steve White (drums); Benjamin Herman (alto sax, baritone sax); Jan van Duikeren (flugelhorn, trumpet); Louk Boudesteijn (trombone).ABOUTPaul Weller used to be the singer-songwriter of The Jam, the most popular British band of the punk era. The funny thing about The Jam was that the band more or less kept punk at arm's length from the very start and sounded more like a modern version of The Who. Just before Weller took the initiative to disband The Jam in 1982, the leader became more and more fascinated by jazz, Motown and soul - a fascination that would lead to The Jam's demise and the founding of The Style Council. Pianist Mick Talbot was responsible for the jazzy streak in the songs and Weller's lyrics - Dropping Bombs on the White House - became more and more grim. After the success of the debut album Café Bleu Weller and Talbot became over-ambitious and over-eclectic, a change that caused a breach with their audience at the end of the eighties. Weller provoked a glorious comeback with his first, title less solo album (1992), followed by the classic albums Wild Wood (1993) and Stanley Road (1995). Last year, after the cover album Studio 150 (with songs by Neil Young, Bart Bacharach and Noel Gallagher), Weller released As Is Now, a collection of songs that was received as one of his better solo albums. On his last two albums he worked with a Dutch horn section, including Benjamin Herman.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Gregory Porter - On My Way to Harlem [HD] | North Sea Jazz 2016 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-08-31 | Date & Location: SUNDAY 10 JULY 2016 • MAAS • Ahoy hall, Rotterdam, The NetherlandsLINEUPGregory Porter (vocals); Tivon Pennicott (saxophone); Albert 'Chip' Crawford (piano); Jahmal Nichols (bass); Emanuel Harrold (drums).Gregory Porter (born November 4, 1971) is an American singer, songwriter and actor. He has twice won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Vocal Album: first in 2014 for Liquid Spirit and then again in 2017 for Take Me to the Alley. ABOUT - press release at the timeThe way American singer Gregory Porter has worked on his solo career these past years is impressive. By performing a lot, and leaving a lasting impression with each concert, he has built a huge fan base. Porter's warm and mature sound is very attractive to many. Yet it could all have transpired so differently. Porter was on his way to becoming an American football star, when a shoulder injury put a spoke in the wheel. While injured he accidentally attended a jam session and this led to an obsession for making music. Porter, who is now past forty, will not have had a single regret. After three powerful albums, he is regarded as one of the best jazz singers of today. His new album Take Me To The Alley will be released in early May. It's self-explanatory that he has often performed at North Sea Jazz, where he already appeared in 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

With her enchanting voice, her beautiful, romantic compositions and charming appearance Silje is an artist whose new albums are always something to yearn for - a yearning that isn't limited to her motherland Norway, where she was declared artist of the year.

She was talented, the media concluded in unition, and gave her rave reviews. Her unusual, subtle and original vocal improvisations made the public shiver. Enough reason for Pat Metheny to introduce her to a mogul of the music industry. She made albums in English and Norwegian and established herself as a composer. This year her eighth album, Nightwatch, was released.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

Manu Katché, Richard Bona, Stefano Di Battista & Eric Legnini - Full Concert | North Sea Jazz 2014 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-08-29 | LINEUPStefano Di Battista (saxophone); Eric Legnini (piano); Richard Bona (bass); Manu Katché (drums).ABOUTThey’ve all been admired individually at the North Sea Jazz Festival, but they’ve never performed in this lineup before. The quartet that Manu Katché, Richard Bona, Stefano di Battista and Eric Legnini formed recently can only be described as an international all-star band. Drummer Manu Katché could justifiably call himself the master of busy flow: the Mohammed Ali of drummers, light-footed with a heavy groove that packs a punch. Qualities that could also be ascribed to Richard Bona. With his bass and voice he blends a wide range of timbres into a hypnotic mix. A unique rhythm section that is completed by an exceptionally melodic duo: saxophonist Stefano de Battista and pianist Eric Legnini. The quartet was specially formed for the Jazz in Marciac festival and, to the delight of their many fans, they decided to stay together and conquer the world.

Diana Krall - Peel Me a Grape [HD] | North Sea Jazz 2013 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-08-28 | Date & venue: FRIDAY 12 JULY 2013 • AMAZON • Ahoy Hall, Rotterdam, The NetherlandsLINEUPDiana Krall (vocals, piano); Stuart Duncan (viola, guitar); Aram Bajakian (guitar); Patrick Warren (keyboards); Dennis Crouch (double bass); Karriem Riggins (drums).ABOUT (press release of 2013)Diana Krall is a very popular guest at the festival. The Canadian pianist and singer has a lot to offer: alongside a pleasing, sultry voice, she has a magic touch when selecting her songs and backing musicians. Krall has constantly taken new directions throughout her twenty-year-long recording career. She drew from Brazilian traditions on her previous, Grammy-Award winning album Quiet Nights and for her latest recording Glad Rag Doll, dove into the treasure chamber of American musical history. On the album, she worked with producer T Bone Burnett for the first time, and he also plays guitar on some tracks. She is also backed by Marc Ribot on electric and acoustic guitar, bass and banjo, plus a line-up of other talented musicians with their roots in bluegrass. This all results in lovely, moving renditions of songs like Lonely Avenue and We Just Couldn't Say Goodbye.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!

George Duke Band ft. Stanley Clarke - Full Concert [HD] | Live at North Sea Jazz Festival 2005 North Sea Jazz Archive 2025-08-28 | SUNDAY 10 JULY 2005 • STATENHAL • 00:30 - 02:00LINEUPGeorge Duke (vocals, keyboards); Boney James (sax); Shannon Pearson (backing vocals); Roy Hargrove (flugelhorn, trumpet); Jef Lee Johnson (guitar); Kevin Randolph (keyboards); Mike Manson, Stanley Clarke (bass); Gordon Campbell (drums).ABOUTThe concert of the George Duke Band is one of the special super sessions in connection with the 30th anniversary celebration. Pianist and singer George Duke shares the stage with a.o. Stanley Clarke, trumpeter Roy Hargrove and sax player Boney James. It’s a task a multi-talented musician like George Duke can be entrusted with. His roll of honours is impressive. He played straight-ahead jazz with jazz-musicians like Cannonball Adderley, Sonny Rollins and Billy Cobham, and recorded funk, soul and disco on his own albums that he recorded from 1977 onwards. He played for years in the band of Frank Zappa, but he also got a kick out of the Clarke-Duke Project, the funk band he co-led with Stanley Clarke. From the end of the seventies until the mid-eighties his music became more and more disco oriented, producing mega-hits such as Shine On and Reach out. He wrote a lot of songs with his musical partner Stanley Clarke, with whom he recorded a lot of success albums. Recently he released Duke, a new album with a multi-coloured collection of jazz, funk, soul, latin and r&b.Welcome to the official North Sea Jazz Archive!
