Not just for pure jazz-music lovers, this festival attracts anyone who can appreciate top-quality music performances in an idyllic setting. Set right by the water’s edge in Valletta’s Grand Harbour, the Malta Jazz Festival oozes atmosphere. So much so, that it also attracts visual artists who come to record their experience at the festival in sketch form. Some also choose to enjoy the music from their boats on the harbour or the bastions above. But nothing beats getting up from those seats to sway to the funky jazz rhythms right under the musicians’ noses. Wouldn’t it be awesome to stand just a few metres away from the likes of Diana Krall and Al Di Meola. Prepare to be moved!
