Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival 2022

The Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival is back live, with the dial set to 10 and ready to raise the curtain to let sounds from New Orleans to Brasil wash over the city for 10 days. From serious listening to party music, from 1920s traditional jazz to the here and now. The Festival will entertain, excite, and stimulate, whatever your interest in the wonderful worlds of jazz and blues.

From the festival's beginnings in 1978, the artistic policy has been to concentrate on musical excellence and to champion spontaneous creativity and music making in Edinburgh. These virtues have been developed in the 21st Century with the production of a wide range of new music, the establishment of the Edinburgh Jazz Festival Orchestra, and an on-going commitment to supporting local musicians to realise creative ideas, and to link with international musicians.
