After four sold-out editions, Super-Sonic Jam returns to Skatecafe for another vibrant jam session in the middle of the venue. This time, the Rotterdam-based organization House of Knowledge will provide the musical accompaniment. Expect many guest musicians, featuring emerging talent and renowned artists. More information about the evening’s lineup will follow soon.
Super-Sonic Jam
Super-Sonic Jam is a concept that was born in the basement of Paradiso during the annual Super-Sonic Jazz Festival. During these informal jam sessions, musicians and visitors would gather to play together late into the night; the focus was on spontaneity, creativity, and improvisation. Since early 2024, Super-Sonic Jam has been held at Skatecafe. For these jams, Super-Sonic Jazz invites other parties and musicians to host. Past sessions were led by the London collective Steam Down, the Haarlem initiative INI Movement, and the Amsterdam-based concepts Els Jam and Higherlife Jam. Super-Sonic Jam has also been invited to organize jams at other events, such as the North Sea Jazz Festival and SMIB TNO Fest. Throughout the set, numerous guest musicians and vocalists are invited to join in.
Skatecafe
From 18:00 to 20:00, you can order pizza from Dick & Dick, but you need to make a reservation. Dick & Dick is part of Skatecafe and is located behind the venue at the square. If you still have energy after the jam, you’re in luck. SIEM, one of Super-Sonic Jazz’s resident DJs, will once again set the perfect vibes for the evening.
Super-Sonic Jam is part of ‘De Hub,’ a project where music venues and talent development organizations from Haarlem, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, and The Hague join forces to help emerging artists advance in their careers. ‘De Hub’ is building a sustainable infrastructure for talented acts to grow artistically, organizationally, and personally. It is a joint initiative by Patronaat, Popcentrum Slachthuis, Stichting INI Movement, BIRD, House of Knowledge, Paradiso, Super-Sonic Jazz, PAARD, and Orisun Studio.
