The Jerusalem Jazz Festival is back! Presented by the Israel Festival, performances will take place at the Israel Museum from July 5 \u2013 7, 2022. Words cannot express the full experience of this unique festival, but I try. Here\u2019s an excerpt from my review of the 2019 festival: \u201cJazz is a genre that is constantly expanding, questioning, and challenging its boundaries, for some, even the term itself is controversial. The Jerusalem Jazz Festival embodies that elusive quality, it has swing, it has flow, it has groove. The festival is music itself, ever moving, ever changing.\u201d (link to full review<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Now in its 8th<\/sup> edition, the festival is under the artistic direction of world renown trumpeter Avishai Cohen, who has put together a terrific lineup of international and Israeli artists.

The festival is set in the museum galleries, yet the format is far more dynamic than traditional concerts. The audience is invited to wander from one concert to another, and everything becomes part of the experience \u2013 the music, the art, the people walking through the museum. Surrounded by paintings, sculptures and historic artifacts, there is a merging of the senses as sight and sound combine to create a very different kind of listening experience \u2013 immersive and exhilarating.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a music lovers paradise with an artistic program that reflects the diversity of contemporary jazz with connections to world music, Dixieland, pop, hip hop, rock, groove, Avant-garde, electronic music and more. Come to hear your favorite musicians and discover new favorites.<\/p>\n
