Ljubljana Jazz Festival began life over 40 years ago as part of the Ljubljana Summer Festival, later moving to Cankarjev dom Culture and Congress Centre. It presents the most eminent European, African and American jazz musicians. Many open air or interdisciplinary events accompany the festival, including street performances, film music events at the Slovenian Cinematheque in co-operation with the Cinema-ear, exhibitions of film posters or jazz photography and open-air concerts by the jazz ensemble of Ljubljana Music and Ballet Secondary School. Ljubljana Jazz Festival co-operates closely with Izzven Jazz Festival, Maribor and Jazz Cerkno Festival.
