Sven Hammond is a Dutch instrumental band known for their distinctive blend of jazz, funk, soul, and Hammond organ-driven grooves. Formed in 1998, the group has cultivated a reputation for energetic live performances and a sound heavily influenced by 1970s jazz-funk artists like Jimmy Smith and The Meters, alongside elements of cinematic soundtracks. Their music typically features intricate arrangements, improvisational sections, and a strong rhythmic foundation.

De Doelen is a prominent concert hall located in Rotterdam, Netherlands. Originally built in 1934 as a shooting range (“doelen” translates to “targets”), it was repurposed into a cultural venue following World War II. The building underwent significant renovation and expansion in the 1990s, designed by architect Mecanoo, resulting in its current modern appearance while retaining historical elements.

De Doelen hosts a diverse range of performances including classical music, jazz, world music and contemporary concerts. It’s known for its excellent acoustics and intimate setting within the larger Rotterdam Schiehaven complex.
