Cork Jazz Festival

One of Europe's largest jazz festivals, held annually in Cork City, Republic of Ireland, over four days on the last weekend of October. Founded in 1977 by a local hotel as a means to attract custom out of season, it has grown to attract over 40,000 visitors and is spread over a number of venues in the city. It has featured leading artists including Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Art Blakey, Wynton Marsalis, Sonny Rollins, Oscar Peterson, Gerry Mulligan, Chick Corea, Dave Brubeck, George Shearing, Joe Lovano, Johnny Griffin, and Elvin Jones. It presents many styles of jazz, from Dixieland to acid jazz, and free performances in pubs and hotels are an important aspect of the festival.
