| Nattjazz - 2007, Bergen, Norway Nattjazz (Nightjazz) is a major jazz festival in Northern Europe and is arranged annually in late May / early June in Bergen, Norway. Nattjazz was founded in 1972 and is despite its age now stronger than ever. Nattjazz 2007 will begin May, 23. Every year more than 90 concerts are presented throughout the festival period. The main festival aerea is an old sardines factory which now contains several concert venues plus exhibitions, theatre, cinema and artists studios. This old factory is named USF Verftet (United Sardines Factory). In addition the festival on occasion uses various other venues in Bergen, including an outdoor stage with free concerts in the plaza in front of the factory. The music profile of Nattjazz spans through a wide range of styles, with a main focus is on modern jazz and world music. During Nattjazz the borderlines between jazz, rock, ethno and electronica are explored and often whiped out. The children also get their share!
