Jazzkaar is the biggest jazz festival in the Baltic region held in Estonia every year, in April, since 1990. Prime location is the Telliskivi Creative City — a former industrial quarter full of Boho styles creative hubs, cafes and studios. Jazzkaar has been recognized among the finest festivals in Europe with the EFFE quality label (2017-2018) and granted the Best Music Festival 2015 award by the Estonian music industry. In addition to the annual spring festival, Jazzkaar also organizes a Christmas Jazz festival and the concert seasons Winter Jazz and Autumn Jazz.

“Jazzkaar covers most territories. This exceptional 10-day festival presents the best players on the indigenous Estonian scene, imports big-name acts from the USA, and also invites some choice artists from around the rest of Europe. Some shows represent jazz in mainstream mode, whilst others twist towards the innovative.” Martin Longley, All About Jazz 2017.
