In just 5 years of existence, the Monte-Carlo Jazz Festival has earned its place of prestige among aficionados of the genre as well as the broadest audience.
Deliberately generous and open, the festival has charmed with its ability to invest in locations as unexpected as the Moods, the liveliest bar in Monte-Carlo, or the Salle Garnier, the prestigious Opera House of the Principality.
Of course, the festival owes its reputation to its lineup, which again this year invites the crème de la crème of international jazz in its broadest sense. Without a doubt, the musical event of this year’s end.
