Tel: 0161 393 4367 02 manchesterjazz.com Welcome to mjf 2017 Sounds fantastic! It’s our 22nd festival and fullest ever programme. We’ve built on our reputation for adventurous programming, with international jazz stars, local gems, newly-commissioned music, European debuts, boundary-pushing ideas, ‘mjf introduces’ young talent and celebrated anniversaries – all making for some of the most enjoyable, surprising and memorable musical encounters. We’re also celebrating the #jazz100 campaign, with over 100 bands in 100+ hours. The jewel in our crown this year is our new main venue in Albert Square. Step into the magical 1920s Salon Perdu Spiegeltent, where half our events take place, and experience the luxurious surrounds of a cabaret club like no other. Art Nouveau ultra-chic, this intimately circular, oak-panelled structure, with an opulent mirrored bar, will whisk you into another world. With its limited capacity, we expect many events here to sell out in advance, so book early. I look forward to welcoming you. Sounds fantastic! Steve Mead, Artistic Director The hub of the festival is Albert Square. Relax with friends and family, enjoy street food and free outdoor music. Photography: Van Rosmalen.
