Welcome to the official channel of the North Sea Jazz Archive.
The annual North Sea Jazz Festival is the largest indoor music festival in the world, known globally as the event where the past, present and future of jazz are featured within three days. Next to a firm base of jazz many genres will pass by, such as blues, soul, funk, hip hop, world, pop and much more. Since the first edition in 1976 the festival grew to more than a thousand musicians, spread out over 150 performances and 90.000 visitors. Internationally renowned jazz legends performed, such as Lionel Hampton, Ray Charles and Miles Davis.
The festival has been recorded by Dutch public broadcasters since the early years.
Since 1992 Dutch public broadcaster NTR is responsible for recording and broadcasting the annual event for Dutch Television.
NTR has recorded more than 1.500 North Sea Jazz concerts, including topnames such as Ray Charles, Maceo Parker and James Brown.

US rapper Snoop Dogg has been providing regular reports of the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 for host network NBC. This is the second time Snoop has worked the Olympic circuit, following his breakout role as an Olympic correspondent at the Tokyo Games.
CBS News states: 'He has certainly delivered. The 52-year-old rapper's droll commentary and one-of-a-kind Snoop-energy has set the internet ablaze, with videos of his Olympic cameos quickly going viral.'
That is why we release his unforgettable 2007 performance at the North Sea Jazz Festival today, 2 days before the end of the Paris Olympics.
