FESTIVAL DE JAZZ

Established in 1991 and organised by the Malta Council for Culture and the Arts during the third weekend in July, it offers three consecutive evenings of jazz in a spectacular setting under the city's bastions and on the waterfront of the Grand Harbour. Few international headliners, but many local artists. 2016 was marked by the presence of American saxophonist Bill Evans (not to be confused with the pianist even though they both played in Miles Davis' orchestra).
