Brisbane International Jazz Festival 2015
Jam with other jazz fans, watch the Enthusiastic Musician's Orchestra blow their own horns, and celebrate one of Brisbane's hottest nightspots from 1957.
Overview
If smooth, often improvised sounds get your toes tapping, then the Brisbane International Jazz Festival probably gets your heart racing. Where else can you celebrate experimental melodies and witness some of the best musicians in the world? Or move and groove to what just might be one-off performances.
That's the joy of jazz: no show is ever the same. There's so much in the festival's third-year program that you probably won't get to test that — but you will get to enjoy the talents of an impressive array of performers from Norway, Poland, South Korea, Japan and, of course, Australia.
Jazz luminaries including the Tord Gustavsen Quartet, the Near East Quartet and the Hiroyuki Minowa Trio are certain to be a highlight. In a lineup that includes a longer list of free sessions than you've ever seen on a music festival schedule, you can also jam with other jazz fans, watch Brisbane's own Enthusiastic Musician’s Orchestra blow their own horns, and celebrate one of the city's hottest nightspots from 1957.
