30th jazz, blues festival plays out with artists performing online

The 30th edition of the Wangaratta Festival of Jazz and Blues was staged over the weekend, albeit via online events.

For the first time in its 30-year history, the festival was presented digitally due to Coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions, in an extended 7-day format.

Audiences enjoyed exceptional performances from some of Australia’s premier jazz and blues artists, in a program that featured new commissions and collaborations, never before seen archival footage, an exclusive international appearance and the prestigious National Jazz Awards.
