Banyan Tree’s ‘World Jazz Festival’ is now a well-established brand-with 5 successful editions that have travelled to 6 cities in India. Presented annually in partnership with Musicians Paradise from the Netherlands, the festival has become a significant platform presenting traditional styles of Jazz from multiple regions of the world on one common stage. With each subsequent year, the festival grew in its expanse, putting a spotlight on newer artists and reaching newer audiences-celebrating the rich, ever evolving sounds of Jazz Artists from nations such as the USA, The Netherlands, Thailand, South Africa, France, Germany, Serbia, Australia and Brazil been represented thus far.
The festival presents newer original voices, as also established international maestros who collectively showcase original pieces, as also Jazz Standards as odes to icons who have shaped the history of this music. This is also coupled with a special focus on Indian music-creating a wonderful bridge of collaboration and musical dialogue. The festival is a composite tribute to jazz’s ability to connect people across the world while celebrating its rich history.
