The Bodø Jazz Open is a jazz festival which has run annually at the end of January since 2011 in the Norwegian town of Bodø. The aim of the festival is to bring together local, national and international artists for collaborations, jam sessions and workshops. Between 2,000 and 3,000 people visit the festival. Venues such as Topp 13, Dama di, Paviljongen, Sinus, Bodø Kulturhus, and Sydøst have been used to host events during the festival. Bodø has a long history of jazz music. In 1921 the Bodø Jazz Band, with a lineup of 15 musicians, was established as the town's first jazz band. The festival was initially called the Bodø International Jazz Festival before changing its name to Bodø Jazz Fest. In 2010 the name was changed again to Bodø Jazz Open, with the name initiated on 15 November 2010, by Jan Gunnar Hoff, Tore Johansen and Erik Johansen. The first running of the festival as the Bodø Jazz Open took place in January 2011, and was a celebration of 90 years of jazz in Bodø. More information...
