Europe

European musicians at JazzWorldQuest

Europe is a fertile and diverse artistic universe in which each cultural space has contributed to a common creative treasure in its own unique way. Local or regional roots have been combined with influences from various cultural realms in the works of many musicians. While being influenced by American jazz, the European musicians have also combined elements of their own cultures to forge a unique, individual sound that has evolved as a result of rich and lively symbioses.
JazzWorldQuest is honored to host a diverse group of brilliant European musicians who have graciously shared their music with us to be enjoyed and promoted. We hope you enjoy their music and show your support by attending their shows, and purchasing their albums.
