| The first period of Tallinn jazz festivals
was 1959-1967. Since 1990,
Tallinn has had a jazz festivali
again - Jazzkaar.
Around 3000 musicians from more
than 40 countries all over the
world have performed at Jazzkaar
festivals over the past 17 years.
Top jazz musicians from Europe
and the US have always been represented,
in addition to musicians
from the Middle East and Africa.
Joe Zawinul, John Scofield,
Charles Lloyd, Take 6, Jan
Garbarek, Diane Schuur, Manu
Dibango- these are only a few of
the hundreds of wonderful artists.
Jazzkaar does not only bask in the
glory of legends, but is always
looking for new and exciting performers
who are unfamiliar to a
local audience.
Jazzkaar puts special interest in
the development of European
jazz, creating collaborations
every year between local jazz
musicians and European talents.
NPO Jazzkaar Friends Society
organizes about 100 concerts
every year in Tallinn and other
cities in Estonia. Beside Jazzkaar
Festival which is always organized
in April, also Christmas Jazz,
Spring Jazz, Autumn Jazz festivals
and special concerts are organized.
