Jazzkaar is delighted to have several foreign journalist writing about the festival and visit beautiful Tallinn and Estonia. Here are some of the reviews of the festival and overall feeling:
“Jazzkaar, a 10-day extravaganza in Tallinn, Estonia, is mostly set within the Telliskivi Creative City, a hub for the city’s artistic community. This is a converted industrial area, now mostly colonized by venues, galleries, bars and cafés, although a scattering of the old-school businesses still exists.”

“The range of programming at Jazzkaar was undoubtedly its finest feature. Whilst at a glance the festival schedule may have seemed daunting or inconsistent, this variety and juxtaposition of performances is ultimately what jazz is all about: yoking together the old and new to create a brief glimpse of something unique and inimitable.”
