The main goal for Jazz International is to provide a stage for mostly Dutch jazz musicians with a special attention for young and upcoming talents. JIR aims to focus on international artistic developments, in particular by initiating co-operations between Dutch and international (European) musicians. We develop and curate different and innovative programme formats to gain as much audience as possible for the music we find relevant. The programme consist of moreover highly qualified adventurous jazz where improvisation has a vital role in the music, which is considered as art form. The Foundation has existed since 1994, but the name has existed since 2001.
