By Terri Mapes, About.com

The Reykjavik Jazz Festival is Iceland's jazz event of the year. Taking place each year on the last days of August until early September in Iceland's capital Reykjavik for five days, the Jazz Festival event attracts more and more jazz lovers each time it is celebrated.

Visitors at the Reykjavik Jazz Festivals can expect superb live jazz music by well-known jazz artists from around the world, along with great Icelandic newcomers who are still considered an insider secret.

At the Reykjavik Jazz Festival, music concerts range from traditional jazz to contemporary jazz. The locations for these numerous concerts are all in Iceland's capital Reykjavik, which is fitting due to the popularity of Reykjavik's nightlife. You can find a detailed schedule and event program at the Website of the Reykjavik Jazzfestival each year.
