After a break of two years, we can finally enjoy international jazz music in Saalfelden Leogang in winter again, as the 3 Days of Jazz will take place from 27-29 January 2023. This event will feature six concerts at the Kunsthaus Nexus, two concerts at the Leogang Mining and Gothic Museum and a free concert at the mountain hut Stöcklalm.
The 3 Days of Jazz kicks off on Friday at Kunsthaus Nexus with the band Per "BASS VIKING" Mathisen's Saxophone Inferno with a Norwegian-Austrian line-up. Afterwards, French musician Louis Sclavis and band will perform "Les Cadences Du Monde". The American formation "Scatter The Atoms That Remain" around bandleader and drummer Franklin Kiermyer will close the day.
