The 3-day jazz festival invites you on a musical journey full of tonal diversity and contrasts. With concerts at various locations, the festival presents 184 high-calibre artists from Austria and 25 other nations. In addition to popular formats such as the \u2018We Hike Jazz\u2019 hike led by bassist Lukas Kranzelbinder, the experimental shortcuts and the free \u2018City Tracks\u2019 in the city, visitors can look forward to other special concert venues. The concert hike to the atmospheric 17th century hermitage high above Lichtenberg Castle remains a highlight.
The creative spirit Leonhard Skorupa will kick off the sound research on the Main stage. Known for his projects Sketchbook Orchestra, AHL6 or the ensemble Kuhle Wampe and celebrated as a \u2018young rebel of Austrian jazz\u2019 (\u00d61), the Austrian Skorupa will premiere a specially developed commissioned work with an all-star line-up consisting of Silke Eberhard, Kirke Karja, Robert Landfermann and Leif Berger – a transnational sound project between Austria, Germany and Estonia. Tomoki Sanders, child of jazz legend Pharoah Sanders, makes his eagerly awaited European debut in Saalfelden. Characterised by an African-American and Japanese background, Tomoki’s music combines elements of Great Black Music, electronic music and avant-garde. After years in the Kassa Overall band and numerous projects, Tomoki will present the music from the album announced for 2026 live for the first time with a high-calibre line-up.
The European premiere of an extraordinary quartet marks a special event: Reid Anderson and Dave King (both founding members of The Bad Plus) meet Chris Potter and Craig Taborn. The focus is on the music of Keith Jarrett’s \u2018American Quartet\u2019 – not as a nostalgic retrospective, but as an exploratory continuation of a musical state of mind. And of course, Saalfelden also offers a stage for Austrian musicians: Chez Fria, \u2018Nothing Causes Anything\u2019 by Vincent Pongracz, Lukas K\u00f6nig in a duo with Kasho Chualan, Alfred Vogel with the BEZAU BEATZ Orchestra of Good Hope and in the trio \u2018Eyes to the Sun\u2019 with Leo Genovese and Camila Nebbia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
