The festival from the heart of Europe has seen a highly successful year, featuring phenomenal acts such as Diana Krall, John Scofield and Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra, to name a few.
Now it's gearing up for its twenty-third year, full of genre diversity, which will kick off with a concert of remarkable pianist Nduduzo Makhathini in late January. One of the main stars of JazzFestBrno's upcoming lineup is the banjo legend Béla Fleck with his project "My Bluegrass Heart," followed by the duo of piano icon Bill Laurance and the Snarky Puppy founder Michael League.
In March, the festival will feature Keyon Harrold, Lakecia Benjamin, Takuya Kuroda, and the supergroup Trio Grande, which includes Will Vinson, Antonio Sanchez, and Gilad Hekselman. April will showcase young and super-talented singer Samara Joy, a Grammy award winner, among other things. The last but not the least is another winner of this prestigious award - Chris Botti.
