The tenth International Jazz Festival is set to take place in Tashkent from April 28 to May 12, according to the press service of the Art and Culture Development Foundation of Uzbekistan.

A series of performances will be held at the open-air venue of the "Uzbekistan" Palace of International Forums. The capital will welcome an impressive lineup of international and local artists, including Leonid Agutin and Therr Maitz, alongside legendary figures like Stanley Clarke and Kurt Elling.
