Jazz Festivals
Jazz festivals are a great way of getting to see some of the biggest stars and the newest talent. They provide an excellent outlet for your music and there is normally a great atmosphere, which is very inspiring to be a part of.
It's fantastic that so many countries have a thriving jazz scene; highlighted by the number of festivals that are happening all over the place. In France for example, there is one almost every week of the year, so I never have any excuses!
We have compiled a list of some of the major festivals around the world and we are working on compiling more detailed lists of those in French and UK jazz festivals. If you know of any that you would like to see posted, please feel free to
