Singapore Jazz Festival is organised and financed by Orbis Festival Productions Pte Ltd, supported by two world-class partners from the leisure and entertainment industries, the Marina Bay Sands and Java Jazz.
Drawn to what is being seen increasingly as a global hub of art and culture, Singapore Jazz Festival will feature some of the biggest names in world jazz as well as emerging talents – international, regional and, of course, Singaporean.
SINGAPORE JAZZ FESTIVAL
Although a ‘jazz festival’ at its core, the festival embraces the capricious, ‘restless’ nature of jazz and its influence across other genres of music.
As such, Singapore Jazz Festival should appeal to music lovers of all kinds and of all generations.
One thing is for sure, its wonderful artists and stunning Marina Bay Sands venues are guaranteed to establish Singapore Jazz Festival as a landmark addition to Singapore’s cultural calendar.
Sing Jazz 2016 will be held over a span of three days, and will see the likes of Jazz fusionists BADBADNOTGOOD, powerhouse soul singer Joss Stone, fusion-soul quartet Hiatus Kaiyote, experimental hip-hop producer Taylor McFerrin, and Afrobeat legend Suen Kuti – who will be leading his late father Fela Kuti’s band Egypt’ 80, grace the Marina Bay Sands Event Plaza from March 4-6.
The festival aspires to establish itself as a premier international live jazz- inspired music festival and a permanent feature on the cultural landscape of Singapore.
