Inspired by legendary venues like New York’s Blue Note, London’s Ronnie Scott's we introduce Amsterdam’s Contra: the place to enjoy intimate jazz concerts from your dinner table. A chef's menu is served, accompanied by our wide selection of wines. To keep the balance between the listening experience and sharing the moment, the concert consists of 3 sets of 35-40 minutes, each followed by a break to enjoy your table, your company, and the atmosphere.

This edition we welcome Jaydian Daniel! 

Jaydian Daniel delivers a vibrant blend of musical styles, seamlessly weaving together gospel, R&B, jazz, rock, hip-hop, Latin, and African influences. Inspired by innovators such as Robert Glasper, Yussef Dayes, Herbie Hancock, and John Coltrane, he creates an electrifying live experience where intricate compositions intertwine with expressive improvisation. Emerging from Rotterdam’s dynamic music scene, he channels a deep passion for storytelling through sound.
