JZ Spring 2019 – the biggest and bluesiest jazz festival in Shanghai – will be held at Shanghai Centre Theatre on April 29-May 2. The four-day music fest is the perfect way to spend a day (or four) outdoors while enjoying tons of great music and plenty of entertaining, family-friendly activities. 

The 6th annual jazz festival will feature over a hundred local and international jazz musicians including some big names such as Laura Fygi, John Daversa and Journey drummer Steve Smith. Artists will play across multiple stages during the multiday festival. Ranging from blues to funk and Latin fusion to R&B, it’s a diverse and impressive lineup that’ll turn any pair of ordinary sneakers into dancing shoes. 

On April 29, Dutch singer Laura Fygi will give her first show after signing with JZ Music and releasing her latest album Laura Goes East. This night is also the opening ceremony of JZ Spring 2019. To celebrate International Jazz Day on April 30, there will be a special indoor concert featuring multi-Grammy winning artist John Daversa. This will be his debut performance in China with JZ All-Star Big Band. Last but not least, American drummer Steve Smith will take the stage on May 1. Steve is best known as a member of the rock band Journey, but will perform with his band Vital Information.
