New Orleans & Classics - JazzAscona

JazzAscona New Orleans & Classics is today one of the two big world events devoted to traditional jazz. During its 22 years ofexistence, the festival hosted many legends of New Orleans jazz, as well as the principal artists on the traditional and classical jazzscene worldwide. The concerts range from traditional New Orleans to Chicago-style jazz, from swing to mainstream, including ragtime, gospel, blues, and R&B.

When and where do the concerts take place?

JazzAscona will feature an average of 20 daily concerts for a total of about 400 hours of music. The bands invited to perform are 35, for a total of about 250 musicians.
The concerts start at 10 am and go on until 4 am the following morning. About half of them take place on 8 stages in bars, restaurants, and hotels (often on outdoor terraces), while the other half takes place in the evening on the romantic lakeside, where thousands of people attend about fifteen outdoor concerts on the five main stages, from 8 pm to 1 am. Night owls can also attend the jam sessions that go on until dawn...


Please note that Ascona is a small town (the historical center is closed to traffic!) and concerts are easily accessible, only a few minutes away on foot from stage to stage.
