TunisiaAmman Jazz Festival celebrated 11 years of musical diversity
The 11th edition of the Festival offered a new musical journey, bringing together world-class Jazz artists, both international and Jordanians, and combining a unique style ranging from soulful American Jazz to daring European avant-garde and rhythmic fusion.
Since its inception in 2012, the Festival has strived to bridge cultures, transcend boundaries, and celebrate the extraordinary power of Jazz music.
At the Festival’s opening night, the EU Ambassador to Jordan, H.E. Pierre-Christophe CHATZISAVAS, said: “more than other music genres, Jazz music is the product of cultural dialogue. Jazz travels, and there are as many types of Jazz as continents. As a land of culture and music, Jordan has a vibrant jazz scene. As we open this new edition of the Amman Jazz festival, we are pleased to see European artists joining Jordanian musicians on stage to demonstrate the strength and solidity of our dialogue”.
This year, the Festival also hosted the “Halaqat” Music Residency program in Petra, with six exceptional bands and musicians from Spain, Italy, Netherlands, Germany, Turkey, Austria, and Jordan.
The Amman Jazz Festival aspires to become the ultimate Jazz destination in the Middle East and earn its place on the international map of Jazz music festivals worldwide.
