Internationally known artists and promising newcomers to the jazz scene meet in Saalfelden. The sounds of the jazz festival range from soft, sonorous tunes and flowing synth-solos to sharp, raw melodies. The optical highlights are in front of the gigantic mountain backdrop of the \u201cSteinberge\u201d, where several important jazz figures are going to perform.\u00a0The concerts take place both in the open air in the village and on the pastures as well as on different indoor stages.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Traditionally, the festival begins with free concerts on the City Stage right on the Saalfeld Town Hall Square (Rathausplatz). The sextet\u00a0Mokoomba<\/a>\u00a0from Zimbabwe is the first to rock the stage, followed by the Belgians\u00a0La Chiva Gantiva<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the Kunsthaus Nexus, the so-called “ShortCuts” present more experimental and multi-faceted jazz. In addition to others, two Austrian bands,\u00a0Little Rosies Kindergarten<\/a>\u00a0and Synesthetic 4<\/a>, perform there.\u00a0Schmied’s Puls<\/a>\u00a0with Mira Lu Kovacs, Walter Singer and Christian Grobauer also play in the Nexus + series in the Kunsthaus Nexus.
