noosa jazz festival

In September, Noosa Australia comes alive to the sound of jazz. Noosa Queensland is known for its superb restaurants and fabulous sunshine coast weather and when these two features are combined with jazz music they make a stunning combination.

Recognised as one of Noosa’s premiere cultural events and one of Australia’s most popular Jazz industry gatherings, the Noosa Jazz Festival brings more than 150 Australian and International artists to Noosa, producing an impressive four-day jazz celebration.

In 2010 the Noosa Jazz Festival will be offering a stellar line up of National andInternational musicians that will be offering all genre of jazz music from the traditional to the more modern funk and blues.

All Noosa visitors and local residents are invited to attend any of the numerous open-air concerts, exclusive performances, jazz feature-shows and daily free gigs to experience the huge variety of jazz our musicians have to offer. Also returning for its second year in 2010, ‘Tastings on Hastings’ is a unique opportunity to wine and dine literally on Hastings Street whilst being entertained by the Festival’s top performers on a roaming stage.

Noosa jazz ranges from traditional, Dixie, modern, swing, funk and R&B and everything in between. The Festival attracts Jazz greats like James Morrison, Bob Barnard, Paul Grabowsky, Graeme Bell, Monica Trapaga and Andrew Swann. Some of the greats play solo and some play in combinations never before heard. There are International bands and trios – all with one thing in common – they play the best jazz on the planet.

The Noosa Jazz Festival is one of the many cultural events in Noosa. The Noosa Longweekend held in June is another 10 day celebration of the arts, music, fashion and food.

Noosa on the Sunshine Coast is 90 minutes drive north of Brisbane. Accommodation for the Noosa Jazz festival is at one of the many supporting Noosa holiday accommodation venues or one of the many hundreds of Sunshine Coast accommodation options.
