Travelling through music is possible through Paris Jazz Festival. Indeed, this year, the Paris event, which offered a new visual identity has chosen to honor the great cities that played a major role in the development of jazz.

So many artists from around the world, who engage one single goal: to amaze with their unique voices, their instruments and dream notes.
