According to Ayoola Sadare, the festival founder and director: “the dream was not only to make the Lagos International Jazz Festival just another entertainment event but one that adds value to both the Lagos Megacity as a tourist destination, contributes to its GDP and presents an international platform for the indigenous musicians.
“We believe that the festival should be one of the leading Jazz festivals in Africa in the near future and are working tirelessly to fully integrate Lagos into the global jazz tourism circuit,” Sadare said.
Asides the musical performances there were master-classes and art exhibitions. The festival climaxed the ‘April Jazz Appreciation Month’ and starts on the International Jazz Day celebrated globally on 30 April.
The concert tagged ‘Jazz In The Megacity’ which began last Thursday ends today at the Freedom Park.
