Because some things simply cannot be simulated. The moment a note is played, a glance between musician and audience, a spontaneous musical dialogue, or a story that suddenly becomes deeply personal. The festival celebrates the genuine, immediate musical experience \u2013 live, up close and unadulterated. This year, Jazz&amp;TheCitysounds is more international than ever before.
