The city’s most awaited jazz festival is back!

Be ready to experience a celebration, where every night the music will tell a story that moves your soul with powerful vocalists, drummers whose rhythms will pulse through your heart and world-class musicians who will bring the magic of jazz to Mumbai.

Opening the festival is Italian pianist, singer, composer and bandleader Francesca Tandoi, celebrated for her artistry and unforgettable performances. On day two, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, pianist and arranger Nicole Zuraitis will bring jazzy grooves and emotion from New York. Closing the festival is vocalist, composer, arranger and producer Thana Alexa. ‘Full of surprise’ is perhaps what best describes the Grammy-nominated musician of Croatian heritage, now based in the US. Alexa will be joined by four-time Grammy winner Antonio Sánchez, one of the most distinguished drummers, composers and bandleaders of his generation. Often called a “drummer’s drummer”, he is hailed for his unparalleled melodic sensibility.
