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. A dinner ticket includes a table reservation. Only coming for the music and a drink? Then buy a regular ticket or (if you're a student or max. 25 years old) a student ticket.

This edition we invite Joan Fort's Organ Trio!

The Joan Fort Organ Trio is one of the latest projects by young Spanish guitarist and composer Joan Fort, based in Amsterdam. For this special occasion, he leads his “organ trio” for the first time in the Netherlands, surrounding himself with two of the country’s most in-demand musicians: Arno Krijger on Hammond organ and Mitchell Damen on drums. Together, this trio promises an energetic concert filled with swing and groove that lovers of live jazz won’t want to miss!
