Two nights of new jazz and improvised music October 19 & 20, 2024 Inner West Jazz Fest is a collaboration between the Johnson Street Jazz community, and the musicians involved. 

This is an unfunded, independently organised event.

Please BYO drinks and food, there will be glasses and cups provided.
