History
The keystone for the London Jazz Festival was placed by the London Borough of Camden way back in 1970s, when this council started Jazz Week in their well-established Camden Festival. However, Jazz Week in Camden Festival grabbed the heat when it started bringing in American artists to the British capital, along with several European and UK artists. Due to these efforts, Jazz Week became a big hit and later on it became a separate entity. This was the start of the journey and today people know it as London Jazz Festival. -
