Description:
Stichting New Amsterdam Jazz (NAJ) was founded in 2020 with the mission to raise local and international recognition for the jazz scene that is based in the Netherlands and connect it to jazz scenes across the globe.
New Amsterdam Jazz supports, develops, and advises. Activities include, but are not limited to, organizing concert series, supporting the creation of albums, co-creating musical projects and platforms, facilitating educational programs, advising other organizations and foundations about the jazz landscape in the Netherlands, and establishing (inter)national partnerships.
New Amsterdam Jazz believes that an effective way to help musicians get to the next stage in their careers is by playing on bigger stages with more renowned musicians, which is why mentorship and intergenerational pollination are two core values of the organization.
New Amsterdam Jazz has a creative advisory board that advises the directors on programming and artistic quality. In each of the projects NAJ supports, NAJ looks at whether the project is diverse & inclusive and whether our support can have a domino effect to catalyze more opportunities in the career development of the musician(s).
