The Kathmandu Jazz Festival or Jazzmandu is an annual jazzfestival, organised by Upstairs Ideas in Kathmandu, Nepal.[1] The festival's name is a portmanteau of jazz and Kathmandu.[2]
The first Jazzmandu was held in 2002 (21 years ago) (2002), building upon the success of the first 'Jazz at Patan' event the previous year. The festival's first edition included performances by the renowned Australian jazz and swing musician Don Burrows, UK singer Natalie Williams, and Australian Jazz/Funk outfit Afro Dizzi Act, who have since returned to Jazzmandu on several occasions.
