Christmas Jazz in Estonia

Posted by Amanda Kendle Dec 6, 2006

Not everybody's a jazz music fan, but you can't easily deny that jazz music lends a certain atmosphere to a place. I do like jazz (without being anywhere near an expert!) and wish I could drop into Estonia this month to enjoy the Christmas Jazz festival.

In fact the Christmas Jazz concert series is now running for the eleventh time, with performances taking place in Tallinn and in other towns across Estonia like Tartu, Parnu, Rakvere and Johvi. It runs between November 29 and December 16; unfortunately you've already missed the big feature this time round, when Dee Dee Bridgwater played in Tallinn on December 2.

December can be a lovely time to travel - off-peak, of course, so the tourist crowds aren't really there - but there's a lot to enjoy (if you rug up). Now you can add the Christmas Jazz fest to your list of reasons to visit Estonia in December.
