16.10. 2019 – 20.10.2019; Salzburg.
Jazz at its best: Musical delights beyond Wolfgang Amadé and the Sound of Music.

The Festival Jazz & The City in Salzburg offers 70 concerts on 30 stages over five days – all this free of charge and within walking distance in front of the scenery of Salzburg’s old town.

More than 30 confirmed bands demonstrate the wide variety of the Festival: there is the Jewish Iraki Dudu Tassa with the Belgian big band “Flat Earth Society”. Clarinetist Rolf Kühn
celebrates his 90th birthday in Salzburg as a lively jazz legend. The Finnish guitarist Jarmo Saari brings along three drummers and the Hamburg based Jazzlab their “Rocket Men”.

Women’s power is also a must at this festival: Lucia Cadotsch brings along LIUN & The Science Fiction Band, bass guitarist and singer Rahel Debebe-Dessalegne performs with her band “Hejira”. Singer Somi comes from the USA, pianist Marie Kruttli and her compatriot Elina Duni from Switzerland. The experimental singer Almut Kühne will be a guest throughout the entire festival.

Most artists are not present for an evening only but take part in blind date concerts, sessions, sound walks and workshops.
