Minute Made Music (MMM) is a large, shapeshifting ensemble that continues to evolve. Let them take you on a ride with a mix of underground noise, punk, Monkish jazz, Cumbia, East African grooves, griot vocals, chamber music and Mengelberg extravaganza, in spikey and serene originals by the band members: Minute Made Music from the now and nowhere. 100% freshly squeezed.

MMM originated in Amsterdam, but its members come from all over the world. They draw from all sorts of eras and movements. Pianist Oscar Jan Hoogland first brought the group together to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of our venue. That performance took place under the name A Trip Through the Years. ‘The more colorful it gets, the more it makes sense,’ said music journalist Peter Bruyn in his review. ‘At the end of the evening, there can be only one logical conclusion: it was fantastic.’
