Organized by Art Escape whose mission is to create cultural events that bring the creative community together and Gatecrash, who promotes international bands and develops the jazz scene in India, the main motivation behind this event is to get talented, innovative and modern jazz musicians to showcase their music on a single platform to a curious and open-minded audience.
Jazz was started as a revolutionary movement for freedom of speech and expression. Today, jazz music has a lot more to offer in terms of creativity, virtuosity and emotions, and it knows no borders. It’s capable of moving any audience, of any age, any gender, or any nationality.
The organizers believe that jazz has a great future: from paying tribute to jazz legends and keeping them alive, to encouraging the youth to create and express themselves, discovering, and re-discovering talents from India and from across the world.
This edition of the Goa International Jazz Live Festival showcases a very wide range of talents and has the ambition to open everyone’s ears – whether you’re a committed jazz lover or not – letting everyone plunge into the wild seas of jazz.
