Umbria Jazz Festival 2007

Umbria Jazz Festival 2007 is, without a doubt, one of the most important events dedicated to jazz in Europe. Since 1973, when the first edition of the Umbria Jazz Festival took place, the biggest jazz artists have come to Perugia:

During the '70 Dizzy Gillespie, Sam Rivers, Herbie Hanckok, Enrico Rava, Miles Davis, Lionel Hampton and during more recent editions of the Festival, Dedee Bridgewater, Gilberto Gil , Milton Nascimento, Terence Blanchard, Paolo Conte, Vinicio Capossela, Nicola Arigliano, Miriam Makeba, Renzo Arbore and its Swing Maniacs, Sergio Cammariere, The Coolbone Brass Band of New Orleans, Lyle Henderson & Emmanuel Gospel Singers.

The Umbria Jazz Festival 2007 will take place during the month of July for ten days, and from morning to evening, in the historic center of Perugia, dozens of concerts will take place with jazz music of all kinds, to meet the tastes of a public which is always becoming more heterogeneous. Perugia will become, once again, a meeting point for thousands of music lovers, coming from all over Italy but also from Europe and the United States and further afield.
