About Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival
We are shaped by the city with concerts taking place in theatres, parks and clubs in the city centre as well as in every ward in the city.
We present a programme that spans the entire history of the music from ragtime to modern jazz to Chicago blues and beyond. Our programming is bespoke for our audiences and regularly features new commissions, new projects and exciting collaborations with creative musicians from both home and abroad.
We champion Scottish musicians. They form the beating heart of the programme, we believe in the depth and breadth of talent that exists in Scotland and believe that our homegrown Scottish artists are talents that demand to be heard.
We also help to develop young artists, supporting them through their careers as they grow and develop towards the international stage.
We embrace and celebrate internationalism, bringing some of the finest artists working in the world today to Edinburgh.
Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
