30 Apr - 5 May 2013: World Youth Jazz Fest

WORLD YOUTH JAZZ FESTIVAL 2013 - KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA The World Youth Jazz Festival (WYJF) is the world's only jazz festival that focuses on young musicians with great achievements. The only one of its kind, the festival had its inaugural concert in 2012, where it was held in conjunction with the event "Himpunan Jutaan Belia" in Putrajaya, in co-operation with the Ministry of Youth & Sports and Jazz Community Malaysia (JazzCOMM). Basically we are a free festival featuring some of the best and youngest names in the jazz world - all for our fellow Malaysians to enjoy and appreciate without any of the social circles or hierachy that many people associate with jazz music - "merakyatkan jazz" is our goal and to bring it to the masses!
