Celebrate experimental melodies and groove to one-off performances.

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 fourth-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 around the country, plus a few international guests.

Local hotshots including The Mal Wood's Bowery Hot 5, Aathmika and Parmis Rose and the Beauty School Dropouts are certain to be a highlight, as are an afternoon jazz workshop and a Women in Jazz panel. Or, get a dose of global sounds courtesy of New Zealand's Wil Sargisson Trio and Marcus Strickland's Twi-Life from New York.
