The festival enjoys a reputation for showcasing contemporary musical improvisers from both at home and abroad.

We are pleased of our billing as "one of the very best small jazz festivals in Europe" (courtesy of All About Jazz), and intent to live up to it again.

In recent years we've hosted performances featuring such leading name artists as Bill Frisell, Tord Gustavsen, Bobo Stenson, Marc Copland, John Scofield, Mats Gustafsen, Joe Lovano, Dave Douglas and Yazz Ahmed.
