Utsav is a festival of this celebration, the annual coming together of

jazz music, jazz musicians and jazz fans for three days in

Mumbai, New Delhi and Bangalore.  

Since the 1980s, when it was known as the Jazz Yatra, this festival of music

has been one of the highpoints of the cultural calendar in these cities.  

From the early years, musicians from all over the world, many of them

household names, like Sonny Rollins, Stephan Grappelli, Trilok Guru and

Freddie Hubbard, have enthralled audiences. 

The Utsav this year has an equally formidable global line-up, with bands

and artists from Italy, Norway, The Netherlands, U.S.A, Germany and

Poland. And, of course, keeping in mind the objective of promoting jazz

music and musicians in the country, there will be top Indian representatives 

at both Delhi and Mumbai.
