About the Event

Teamwork Arts' Jazz India Circuit presents its set of concerts in Delhi as a celebration of the classic sounds of jazz - a throwback to the golden era of the music with a line-up of artistes who are at the top of the musical game.

Jazz India Circuit is one of the biggest celebrations of jazz in India, exploring the entire spectrum of the fascinating genre from across the world, and culminating in the beautiful cities of Delhi and Goa. In the current season, 6 concerts of the Circuit are split between Goa and Delhi, from December 2017 to March 2018. It truly is the most anticipated jazz spectacle in the country.

Weckl’s dynamic and diverse drumming, which has inspired musicians worldwide, is built on a foundation of knowledge and passion.
