Jazz music is not the aftermath of playing notes and following rules; Jazz music is spontaneous, creative and innovative. It is the result of an ardent passion and love for music and harmony. Beginning June 19th to June 25th, 2017 Jazz culture, heritage and history will be celebrated in the soaring towers of La DeÌfense in Paris. The live music festival begins each day at noon and will feature a variety of well-known artists such as: Jowee Omicil, Abou Diarra, Fautheir Toux Trio, Mammal Hands and more.
Predominantly a Jazz celebration, the festival will also have a mix of other genres such as electro and hip-hop. Starting at 18:00, music fans will begin by listening to Electro Deluxe and for the closing weekend there will be hip-hop musicians as well. What makes this event most remarkable is that in addition to being a festival of classical jazz music the 40th La DeÌfense National Jazz Competition has been fashioned to promote amateur artists, young jazz talents and the career development of new groups in the rising! Although diverse and distinct groups will appear, they all have in common a foundation for the Jazz classics and traditions.
