| Festival Description | Since 1968, the highlight of the year is the Umeå Jazz Festival, one of Europe’s oldest and most respectable festivals. Umeå has an unique jazz music scene. As the cultural and innovative centre for northern Sweden it has over the years produced a remarkable yield of jazz musicians. The festival is held in various venues—a multitude of artists perform at Umeå Folkets Hus. Every stage has a different character: In the Jazz Laboratory you can experience experimental jazz, the Apple´s Ballroom gives you the opportunity to eat, drink, dance and hear shows performed by different groups, exploring different epochs—swing and sweet to hip nu-jazz. In Freja JazzBar you can find anything from an unknown jazzsinger to top regional bands. StudioJazz has an intimate international club atmosphere and this year the festival introduces players in close range at the SoundGarden. The Idun Theatre is the festival’s main stage where you can hear both international stars and distinguished names from the Swedish jazz arena. |
