Jazzing up the Goa music scene every year is the Goa International Jazz Live Festival (GIJLF), the experimental, up-tempo, funky celebration of new age jazz. With a definite aim to push the boundaries of what typically constitutes the sound of the genre, GIJLF mixes punk, hip-hop, R&B and other forms of music with jazz to come up with tunes that appeal both to the ears and feet. This year, as part of Jazz India Circuit – an effort by Teamwork Arts to promote jazz across India – Goa will host eight cutting-edge experimental bands.
The Jazz India Circuit is an endeavour by Teamwork Arts to spread the word and sound of jazz across the country through various concerts that span the spectrum of the fascinating genre. The frothy, experimental jazz celebration that will symbolize the spirit of the Goa International Jazz Live Festival. Free of the shackles of classic jazz, the edgy and experimental nature of the music will speak to the ears, the feet and the soul.
