(The Kathmandu Jazz Festival or Jazzmandu ) is an annual Jazz Festival, organised by Upstairs Ideas in Kathmandu, Nepal. The festival's name is a portmanteau of Jazz and Kathmandu. ==History== The first Jazzmandu was held in 2002, building upon the success of the first 'Jazz at Patan' event the previous year. The festival's first edition included performances by the renowned Australian jazz and swing musician Don Burrows, UK singer Natalie Williams, and Australian Jazz/Funk outfit Afro Dizzi Act, who have since returned to Jazzmandu on several occasions. Jazzmandu has built on its starting momentum to grow into an internationally recognized, week-long festival, celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2012. It has featured such renowned artists as legendary Indian percussionist Trilok Gurtu, and American jazz drummer Ari Hoenig. Jazzmandu 2007 was cancelled due to political unrest and civil conflict in Nepal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jazzmandu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
