Udin & Jazz Festival was conceived as a way to bring together local and international talent, celebrating the transformative power of jazz music.
The festival is organized by Euritmica, a non-profit cultural association born in Udine in 1997 from the enthusiasm of a group of jazz lovers.
In addition to the historic Udin&Jazz Festival, Euritmica also organizes other jazz related events, such as GradoJazz in Grado, Incontri Jazz in Gorizia, Jazz Terminal in Trieste, and for the last couple of years, Udin&Jazz Winter, also in Udine.
Over time, great international and Italian names, and the attention to the promotion of local talents, made Udin&Jazz a top musical event.
During over 30 years of history, the Udin&Jazz Festival hosted artists of the caliber of Max Roach, Stan Getz, Jim Hall, Pat Metheny, James Brown, Joe Zawinul, B.B. King, Dionne Warwick, Paul Simon, Chris Cornell, and Mario Biondi.
