Jam Sessions at the Radisson Blu

For the occasion, the Radisson Blu offers every evening of the festival to continue the evening with the artists present.

The artists offer "Jam sessions" to bring a more convivial and lively side.

Jam sessions are the essence of jazz.

In concrete terms, these are "improvisation sessions" in English.

The Ferret House

Since 2021 Ferret is committed as a patron of the Nice Jazz Festival.

This year's prize is a Ferret Trophy to a star jazz artist, accompanied by an exclusive 750 gold pendant for the lucky winner.
