As soon as Jerusalem’s Israel Festival closes on June 19, the 7th Jerusalem Jazz Festival picks up the cultural slack from June 22-24, held on the grounds of the Israel Museum’s outdoor sculpture garden.
The festival, produced by the Israel Festival team and directed as usual by trumpeter Avishai Cohen, includes a program of all-Israeli artists for a series of intimate meetings between musicians and artists.
