Beijing Jazz Festival

Beijing Jazz Festival

The Beijing Jazz Festival (; pinyin: Běijīng Juéshì Yīnyuè Jié) is China's first and largest jazz festival. It was founded in 1993 by Udo Hoffmann, a German national living in China.

The festival was held in Beijing from 1993 to 1999, with a seven-year hiatus. The festival returns to Beijing from September 21 to 23, 2007, and will take place outdoors in Haidian Park, in Beijing's northwestern Haidian District. The 2007 festival will be a cooperative effort between the Beijing Midi School of Music and Beijing Midi Productions.

The festival features jazz musicians from China and around the world. Performers have included the U.S. jazz musicians as Wynton Marsalis and Jon Jang, as well as many artists and groups from Scandinavia.
