The North Sea Jazz Festival is the largest indoor music festival in the world, known globally as the event where the past, present and future of jazz are featured within three days. Next to a firm base of jazz as the festival's staple music genre, many others, such as blues, soul, funk, or hip hop, pass by. In 1982, Dutch big band The Skymasters accompanied monumental jazz trumpet legend Dizzy Gillespie and the Brazilian bossa nova singer Astrud Gilberto at the North Sea Jazz Festival in The Hague.
