    Featuring Israeli-born and Chicago-based musicians, the 4th Annual Israeli Jazz and World Music Festival promises to be the most high energy and impactful festival to date.  Spanning over one week, this year’s Israeli Jazz and World Music Festival will feature Israeli and Chicago based musicians collaborating across a multitude of genres. This year, the Consulate General of Israel to the Midwest tapped into Israeli talent living in Chicago as well as what has been the festival’s mainstay of bringing world-renowned artists directly from Israel. 
     
     Lazer Lloyd, King of Israeli Blues, will show how the influence of Chicago blues has contributed to his musical identity.  His performance is sure to be transforming. Guy King will move your soul with his culmination of Blues, jazz, and rhythm and blues. Marbin’s fusion of rock and jazz; Uri Gurvich’s  smokin’ sweet sound on the saxophone; and Tal Gamlieli’s steamin’ style are expected to  please all musical lovers.
     
    Venues will include Chicago staples such as Buddy Guy’s Legends and Andy’s Jazz Club. Other new venues introduced this year include FitzGerald’s in Berwyn and S.P.A.C.E in Evanston. The Fest returns to the Chicago Cultural Center and Old Town School of Folk. Concerts are planned for schools and houses of worship throughout the Chicago-area.
