The 7th edition of the International Jazz Festival will be held in Tashkent from April 25 to May 13, 2023. Organized by the Art and Culture Development Foundation with the support of the embassies accredited in Uzbekistan, under auspices of the UNESCO Tashkent Office, the Festival is a celebration of jazz as an international art form that promotes peace, dialogue among cultures, diversity, and respect for human rights and human dignity.

Jazz is a genre that occupies a special place in the world music. Originating as a manifesto of freedom, it remains original and inimitable, embodying unique experiments and strong emotions. It is no wonder that the UNESCO General Conference declared 30 April as International Jazz Day in November 2011.
