Well, its got to be said again - Cully Jazz Festival IS part of the royalty of real jazz festivals in Europe.

This is not Montreux Jazz festival's little cousin; this is THE JAZZ FESTIVAL on the Lac Leman.

Cully Jazz Fest still has a heart and soul and vibe, unlike, IMHO, its bigger cousin/cousine east of it on the lake.

Check out the program. Absolutely outstanding.

This Jazz festival is going from strength to strength, year by year.

And probably on the finest location of Lake Geneva too.

Plenty of "Off" gigs in about 12-ish wine caves dotted around the wine village, besides the more head line gigs by some real jazz monsters.
