Our story
History Jazzzolder: A Musical Odyssey
More than 25 years of jazz passion in Mechelen.
From a cozy meeting place in an attic in 1997 to a permanent fixture in the renovated Predikherenkerk, the Jazzzolder has a rich history.
Starting as an intimate gathering for friends, it quickly grew into a breeding ground for both young talent and established jazz artists.
Over the years, the Jazzzolder has had various locations, from the Refuge of Grimbergen to the chapel on the Wollemarkt and finally Het Predikheren.
Each location brought its own charm and possibilities, but the passion for jazz and the friendly atmosphere always remained central.
