The Blue Note Jazz Festival, launched in 2011, quickly became a staple in the world of live jazz music, celebrating the rich heritage of jazz while showcasing contemporary artists. Named after the iconic Blue Note Jazz Club in New York City, the festival draws its roots from the club's storied history, which began in 1981 and has remained a significant platform for jazz musicians globally.
