bring their Mood Swing Quartet to the festival. There will also be a
tribute to John Coltrane by Archie Shepp, a special collaboration
between Kurt Elling and Danilo Perez and Israeli bassist Avishai

There is also a strong host of UK acts performing at this year’s
festival including Shabaka Hutchings with Shabaka & The
Ancestors project, Kokoroko, Nérija and Nubya Garcia amongst others.
The Rotterdam-based festival has played host to the likes of jazz
