The 22nd Istanbul Jazz Festival, which is organised by the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (İKSV) will be held on 27 June-15 July 2015. The festival will once more host the pre-eminent figures of jazz, as well as the stars of contemporary music in Istanbul.

The 22nd Istanbul Jazz Festival will radiate the city in jazzy lights with over 35 concerts featuring more than 250 musicians both from Turkey and abroad, including some of the most authentic voices in folk, blues, and jazz such as Joan Baez, Jools Holland, Marcus Miller, Melody Gardot, and Tigran Hamasyan at more than 15 different venues. Jazz music will resonate across the city, from the most unconventional places to the more common destinations. This year, the festival will take “Jazz at Parks” to the Fenerbahçe Park and along with the “Night Out” in Kadıköy, this year’s events will be extending to the Asian side.

“Jazz at Parks”: Saturday, 4 July 17:00, Fenerbahçe Park and Fenerbahçe Khalkedon

The Istanbulite will enjoy a true public festivity with this year’s “Jazz at Parks” event, where up-and-coming young jazz musicians from Turkey will get together with bands and jazz orchestras on stages located in the Fenerbahçe Park and Fenerbahçe Khalkedon. The free event will kick off on Saturday, July 4.

The locomotive of this event and a favourite of the festival will be The Soul Rebels Brass Band,
the eight-man band from New Orleans which is acclaimed for its perfect blending of jazz, funk, soul, hip-hop, rock, and pop music. A welcome guest at the Montreux, Vienna, and North Sea Jazz Festivals, the Gettysburgh College Jazz Ensemble will also be on the “Jazz at Parks” stage.

The “Young Jazz” series, which has integrated nearly 60 young bands into the festival over the past 12 years, continues to support young jazz musicians of under 30 who have not yet launched on a professional career. The application deadline for the “Young Jazz” series is 24 April and after the evaluation concert to be held at Salon İKSV on Sunday, 10 May, four bands will get the chance to perform in the “Jazz at Parks”.

“Night Out”: Wednesday, 8 July, Kadıköy – Moda – Yeldeğirmeni

The Istanbul Jazz Festival debuts a new feature in its 22nd edition: The “Night Out” will sprinkle the magical spirit of musical festivity on Kadıköy.

The “Night Out” will be on Wednesday, July 8, and its full line up will be announced at a later date, the programme will include such names as the winner of 2014 Nardis Jazz Vocal Competition, Su İdil.
