It was a blast of a festival that Aarhus Jazz Festival presented from the 13th-20th July.

Under the motto 'open your ears', during the week you could experience jazz music from all genres at 330 concerts at 40 venues in the city... and even if the weather was a little teasing along the way, the jazz party could not be held down.

There was a good atmosphere and many sold-out concerts in, among other places, Musikhuset Aarhus.

Among this years prominent artists you could liste to:

Randy Brecker, Lisa Ekdahl, Loren Stillman, Cecile McLorin Salvant, Stacy Kent, Artist Residency 2024 w. Emil de Waal & Gustaf Ljunggren, Lotte Anker, Fredrik Lundin Overdrive Revisited, Aarhus Jazz Orchestra, Jacob Anderskov 'I Sang' & Århus Sinfonietta, Vilnius JJazz Ensemble, Mikkel Ploug Group, Alawari, Sunbörn, Amanda Ginsburg, , Caktus x Ojkos, Allen Anjeh, Kira Skov sings Billie Holiday, Vingborg/Valencia, Birdland (Jannik Hastrup) & Jacob Venndt's Fabulous Swing Trio, Icy Igloo vol. 2, Tigeroak, Horse Orchestra, Clapper, AddisAbabaBand, Share Improfest vol. 4 etc.

Thank you to all of you who help create this festival: Organisers, volunteers, musicians, audience, sponsors and partners.

We are already looking forward to next year.
