The “Gaume Jazz Festival” was born in August 1985 on the occasion of a double celebration: the International Year of Youth and the European Year of Music in order to create a musical and festive event of great quality in the beloved setting of the Belgian Lorraine in the middle of tourist season. After 34 editions (819 concerts already hosted and 74 creations made), the Gaume Jazz Festival continues its journey around the lines of force that shaped it.
The Gaume Jazz Festival distinguishes itself in the Belgian cultural summer by its artistic ambition mixing, with a constant quality, experienced stars and young emerging creators, Belgian jazz and major European productions, discoveries of new productions and original creations, ... hearty fan of all the flavors of jazz to share in a festive and legendary convivial atmosphere.

• With as usual some unusual projects rather “cousins of jazz”
• With always and always, the legendary atmosphere of a friendly project of proximity.
The Gaume Jazz “OFF” from the 24/07 to the 11/08 : 11 concerts Festive Jazz - 11 places of interest out of Rossignol
Outside of the Rossignol’s site, these concerts bring to light a festive jazz in places that are unique, remarkable, full of curiosities (Best plan for a visit...) offered with the help of local partners and the support of the Commissariat General in Tourism of the Walloon Region. These are fine and delicate encounters under the sign of discovery and the unpublished to create a cultural and social bubbling throughout the region.
In short, the 35th GJF will once again be a real celebration of “ALL JAZZ for ALL PUBLIC” to enjoy alone, with friends or with the family: A tasty cocktail of jazz and fresh air, direct path to the real emotions of the live show, to be enjoyed without the slightest moderation.
