The International İstanbul Jazz Festival began in 1984 as part of İstanbul Festival. Jazz gems have included: Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Stan Getz, Ornette Coleman and a host of other great musicians. Since 1994, the International Jazz Festival has been a singular event hosting not only jazz but also rock, pop, blues, reggae and new age concerts, among others. The concerts simply overflow the venues and spill out into the streets, encouraging one to question the boundary between music producer and consumer. The International İstanbul Jazz Festival is a founding member of the International Union of Jazz Festivals.
