...quite matches the North Sea Jazz Festival (July 11-13), which packs around 250 acts into one weekend in The Hague. "You make your own festival," says director Theo van den Hoek. Visitors can go pure with Chicago's spectacular pianist-singer Patricia Barber and trumpeter Dave Douglas, or leaven tradition with deep house, like Norwegian Bugge Wesseltoft, or with klezmer, like John Zorn's Electric Masada.
