Australia's biggest jazz festival continues to lure local legends and jazz greats from around the world. More than 70 performances are scheduled each year and the best part is that every single show is free. All styles of jazz are represented including be-bop, California cool, traditional, electronic and acid. Blues, gospel, swing and big band are also featured. Many of the local cafes and bars get in on the act and feature jazz in the evenings.
