Jazz is a celebration of the human spirit expressed through music. Jazz
Utsav is a festival of this celebration, the annual coming together of jazz
music, jazz musicians and jazz fans for three days in Mumbai, New Delhi
and Bangalore. Since the 1980s, when it was known as the Jazz Yatra, this
festival of music has been one of the highpoints of the cultural calendar in
these cities. From the early years, musicians from all over the world, many
of them household names, like Sonny Rollins, Stephan Grappelli, Trilok
Guru and Freddie Hubbard, have enthralled audiences. The Utsav this year
has an equally formidable global line-up, with bands and artists from Italy,
Norway, The Netherlands, U.S.A, Germany and Poland. And, of course,
keeping in mind the objective of promoting jazz music and musicians in the
country, there will be top Indian representatives at both Delhi and Mumbai.
