Amsterdam residents looking for a low-cost music night can try Tuesday Jam at BIMHUIS on 17 November or 24 November 2026. Both sessions are free, and the venue says reservations are not necessary.

The music takes place in the café, which opens at 21:30. Each session begins at 22:00 and finishes at 00:30 the following morning, so this is an option for a late evening rather than an early concert.

Saxophonist Jasper Blom leads the sessions. BIMHUIS describes them as a meeting place for musicians of different ages and experience levels, with talent from the nearby Conservatory of Amsterdam. Listeners can come for an introduction to the city’s jazz scene without buying a concert ticket.

BIMHUIS is at Piet Heinkade 3, 1019 BR Amsterdam. Check the venue’s visitor information and dated programme before travelling, and plan the journey home around the after-midnight finish.
