Competition Rules and Regulations

Schedule

15 Category J - Jazz, Soloists or groups (up to 8 people), no age limit.

This was a new category which was watched with interest. Unfortunately, the category was very late starting so the final group to perform, which was the winning entry, clashed with the start of a midday concert. The camera could only be in one place so unfortunately we do not have the video of the Arek Czernysz Trio (Poland).
