Devonport Jazz is an annual music festival in the City of Devonport on Tasmania's Northwest coast.
Featuring artists from interstate as well as Tasmania's leading jazz musicians, Devonport Jazz is a celebration of all jazz genres - both old and new.
Devonport Jazz breaks the mould by incorporating elements of education, food, visual art, dance and film into the traditional jazz festival program.
Take in a concert at the Devonport Entertainment & Convention Centre, or a show over breakfast, lunch or dinner at a range of cosy venues.
Devonport Jazz is an initiative of the Devonport City Council, under the management of the Devonport Events Unit and Musical Director, Viktor Zappner.

Artists wanting to perform at Devonport Jazz
Performers for the program are selected by the Festival’s Music Director, Viktor Zappner in association with the Event Manager.  The main criteria for selection are artistic excellence, and stylistic balance within the context of each year’s program.  The program is created between January and April each year.

Elsa sent me this extra comment -"last year 2002 was our inaugural event which luckily went so well that it is easier to get support the second time around. While Council certainly underwrites this event, coordinates, promotes the event  the concept is that we do this in partnership with local business who make a contribution towards entertainment cost and where appropriate combine entertainment with meals etc. Regards,  Elsa."
