Info
The NN North Sea Jazz Festival – Friday day ticket on 10 July 2026 at Rotterdam Ahoy presents a broad cross-section of jazz, soul, R&B and related grooves. Pianist and singer Diana Krall places her distinctive playing and the Songbook at the center, alternating between swinging triumphs and intimate ballads. Jon Batiste connects New Orleans heritage with pop, gospel and choir‑like harmonies. Esperanza Spalding moves from chamber‑like subtlety to rock‑tinged moments and Latin colors, while tenor saxophonist Joshua Redman keeps his melodic line and post‑bop vocabulary sharp. Steve Coleman explores polyrhythms and collective improvisation from within his Five Elements universe.
The soul side is well represented: The Roots deliver live hip‑hop with an organic band sound, The Isley Brothers delve into decades of soul, funk and slow jams. Bilal moves between neo‑soul, jazz and psychedelic hues; Jalen Ngonda keeps things compact with 60s‑tinged soul. On the pop side, Sienna Spiro showcases her voice‑driven soul‑pop, and Asaf Avidan blends folk and pop with a lived‑in vocal delivery. Instrumentally, Snarky Puppy lock the groove tight while leaving plenty of space for improvisation, and Metropole Orkest spans the spectrum from big‑band drive to string colors. Grace Bowers & The Hodge Podge deliver blues‑rock with long guitar lines and a powerful band dynamic.
