The SAJE Jazz Festival is a biennial event focusing on jazz education, workshops, performance, discussion, skills development and audience development. It offers a unique forum for musicians, academics, educators, students and learners, jazz fans, and those in the media and arts, to engage with the latest sounds and ideas in jazz - especially South African jazz. Along with workshops and performances there are opportunities for discussion, information exchange, and networking.
