Vienna's jazz festival to span the city

Vienna's annual jazz festival is to play to a host of venues this year, with performances taking place in locations ranging from small open air cafes to the city's opera house.

Festival-goers will also be in line for a selection of musical styles as artists covering jazz such as mainstream, rhythm-blues, soul, modern-bebop and funk are lined up to play at the event.

Taking place between June 29th and July 16th, the festival will see performances from Randy Newman, the Herbie Hancock Quintet and the Julie Loveson Sextet.

The festival has been held in Vienna since 1991 and this year will feature concerts at the Vienna Kammeroper, Museumquarter Vienna and the Arkadenhof Town Hall.
