Mondriaan Jazz Festival 2021 is the first Dutch festival this autumn to present a leading, international, unique and challenging program, with the refreshment it brought in previous editions.

The first batch of names already bodes well: We will open the festival with a curated duo of American jazz royalty bassist Christian McBride and pianist Jason Moran and we will end the festival with the only 2021 show by UK jazz-afrobeat sensation KOKOROKO.

In between is a full program in which you can experience the contemporary edges of jazz and electronica with, among others, Yussef Dayes, John Ghost, Arthur Hnatek, SWIMS.

In the meantime, immerse yourself in our focus on the Berlin and Helsinki jazz underground, including Y-OTIS and Timo Lassy x Teppo Mäkynen.

Or be surprised by the intimate Dutch debut of singer Sasha Keable or the overwhelming Ensamble Grande by Mexican vocalist Fuensanta Méndez.
