About the Festival
Recognised as one of Noosa’s premiere major events and one of Australia’s most popular Jazz industry gatherings, the Noosa Jazz Festival brings over 150 Australian and International artists to Noosa, producing an impressive 4-day Jazz spectacular.
Artists perform in many of Noosa’s famous restaurants as well as in purpose-built jazz venues, for the full 4 days of the festival.
All Noosa visitors and local residents are invited to attend any of the numerous open-air concerts, exclusive performances, historical jazz feature-shows and daily free gigs to experience the huge variety of jazz our musicians have to offer.
The Future of Programming
Few jazz festivals in the world stay true to their name; keeping traditional jazz styles as the core of their programming. The Noosa Jazz Festival is loyal to its long-tem traditional jazz supporters as well as the modern enthusiasts, mainstream and swing lovers and even programming venues for the nu-jazz/commercial/popular trends that are infiltrating the industry.
Traditions continue… the Festival is committed to maintaining traditional styles of jazz within the industry and its own event. The Evolution of Jazz featured in 2007 recognised the contributions of iconic jazz musicians to the Australian jazz scene as well as to the development of Traditional jazz around the world.
Up & comers… the Youth in Jazz program supports the future of the Queensland jazz industry. The cream of Queensland’s Jazz Big Bands over a two day period in support of our Youth in Jazz Program, established six years ago. These ‘free to the public’ concerts have grown to become another popular event on the program with over 450 participating students who, over the two days entertain thousands of people in a relaxed ‘Noosa style’ atmosphere.
The launch and development of the North Shore Blues over the past three years Festivals has added another dimension to the Program, as well as enabling North Shore to be recognised as a top-line venue. USM Events aims to continue the development and expansion of the North Shore Blues in 2008. |
