Produced by the music charity Serious and running since 1993, the EFG London Jazz Festival presents over 300 performances a year, from major international headliners to emerging UK talent and specially commissioned new work. It stretches city-wide, anchored by the Southbank Centre and the Barbican alongside clubs like Ronnie Scott's and the 606 Club.

The programme deliberately embraces jazz in its widest sense — bebop, big band, free improvisation, electronica, world and cross-genre collaborations all feature. Many outdoor and fringe events are free, and the festival is a fixture of the international jazz calendar, drawing well over 100,000 attendees each year.
