This year’s Jazz Around Festival will take place at the Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw on 28 and 29 June 2024.
After the premiere Jazz Around Festival at the Moszna Castle and last year’s event at Katowice’s International Cultural Centre, the time has come for Warsaw. During the two days of the festival, visitors will have the opportunity to enjoy concerts, improvisations, and meetings with artists.
The Jazz Around Festival presents various varieties of jazz music, from funk and soul to electronic experiments, from world music to fusion.
Since the beginning, the festival’s organisers have been guided by the idea of around, which expresses openness, combining different perspectives and travelling through different environments, cultures, or genres. Around can also mean exploring different sounds, styles and musical traditions and opening up to artistic and cultural diversity.
Performers at the Jazz Around Festival so far include Jules Buckley with AUKSO – the Chamber Orchestra of the City of Tychy, Theo Katzman, Cody Fry, Dirty Loops, Jazzanova, Anomalie, Scary Pockets, Jacob Banks, Cory Wong, Incognito, The Comet is Coming, Benjamin Clementine, Poluzjanci, EABS, Marek Napiórkowski, Kinga Głyk, Adam Bałdych & Łukasz Ojdana, Cherise, David Ryan Harris. J, Stephen Day, Theo Croker, Brooklyn Funk Essentials, Dorota Miśkiewicz feat. Henryk Miśkiewicz, MaBaSo & Kuba Badach, Mononeon, Ole Børud, Kasia Pietrzko Trio with Maciej Kudziel and Andrzej Chyra.
Details of this year’s schedule of events will be announced soon. The event is organised by the Poznań-based concert agency Good Taste Production.
