Jazz is Back BP

There are surely no better nights than those hot summer nights when Grožnjan and its surrounding area are bathed in the most beautiful sound of eternal Jazz. Diversity and a spontaneous spirit complement good music, and it is in this spirit that many prominent musicians from a dozen countries will visit medieval Grožnjan, the Croatian town of artists.

Relax in this tranquil city which lives at its own pace while some of the best jazz musicians from Croatia and abroad play their tunes. The beauty of jazz will spread across the picturesque ambience, while the participants of the Jazz Summer School of Jeunesses Musicale Croatia will reinforce the musical background.
