Background
The history of the Jazz Society goes back quite a long time, as they are the ones who in 1960 brought to life the Ljubljana Jazz Festival, nowadays still existing as the oldest European jazz festival. At that time, it was called Yugoslavia Jazz Festival and was held in Bled, moving to Ljubljana only later in 1967. A dozen years later, at the end of the 1970s, the festival organisation was handed to the then newly established Cankarjev dom, Cultural and Congress Centre. Consequently, for a few years, the Jazz Society ran its own festival (once again set in Bled), organised regular concert evenings in Ljubljana, and worked on the local jazz culture, managing, for example, to install a jazz course into the Ljubljana Music and Ballet Conservatory curriculum.
Music programme
Some of the bands and musicians that have appeared at the festival include RTV Slovenia Big Band, Jure Pukl Quartet, Balžalorsky / Drašler 3o, Lolita, Vasko Atanasovski Trio, Jazoo, Robert Jukič, Jaka Kopač, Zlatko Kaučič, Cene Resnik, and Igor Bezget. Playing on the same stages, have been such notable musicians as Giovanni Maier, Clarence Penn, Howard Curtis, and Wayne Darling.
