Rooted in the city’s earlier Camden Jazz Weeks of the 1970s and formally established in 1992, the London Jazz Festival has evolved from a modest local event into one of Europe’s largest and most ambitious musical gatherings. It celebrates not just the breadth and extent to which jazz music has grown to be appreciated around the world, but also the spirit of collaboration and discovery that each November brings, when the festival draws artists from across the globe and weaves them into ten days of performances.
