The 2021 Melbourne International Jazz Festival was a massive four-day celebration of Australian jazz and the return of live music in Melbourne.
While 2021 was an incredibly difficult year for all of us here in Melbourne, we are so happy to have had the opportunity to bring audiences together and showcase some of the very best artists in Australian jazz, live on stage, doing what they do best.
2022 will soon be upon us and we will once again welcome international stars and friends back to Melbourne for 10 days from 14-23 October.
Until then, here is a look at some of the highlights of MIJF 2021.
