| Umeå Jazz Festival - every year
in October since 1968.
Umeå has an unique jazz music
scene. As the cultural and innovative
centre for northern Sweden it
has over the years produced a
remarkable yield of jazz musicians.
In Jazz i Studion it has also
one of the foremost jazz clubs in
Scandinavia and an extremely
devoted audience. Since 1968,
the highlight of the year is the
Umeå Jazz Festival, one of
Europe's oldest and most
respectable jazz festivals.
From Wednesday to Sunday
evening a multitude of artists will
perform at the festival venues -
the Norrlands Opera and Umeå
Folkets Hus. Every stage has a different
character: In the Jazz
Laboratory you can experience
experimental jazz, the Apple's
Ballroom gives you the opportunity
to eat, drink, dance and hear
shows performed by different
groups, exploring different
epochs - swing and sweet to hip
nu-jazz. In Freja Jazz Bar you can
find anything from an unknown
jazz singer to top regional bands.
Studio Jazz has an intimate international
club atmosphere and this
year we introduce players in
close-up format at the Sound
Garden. The Idun Theatre is the
festival's main stage where you
can hear both international stars
and distinguished names from the
Swedish jazz arena.
We want to give our audience a
magic melting pot consisting of
today's landmarks in jazz - at
least for some intensive couple of
days, hours or seconds...
