Luxembourg may be small in size, but its jazz scene is bursting with originality and in 2025 we offer afresh look at a scene defined by its creativity.

Luxembourg’s jazz community has become a hub of innovation in the European scene and this year’s SPARK line-up showcases just that. Expect the fearless grooves of Michel Meis’ Kolibri, the powerful guitar-led Veda Bartringer Quartet, the lyrical brilliance of the Maxime Bender Trio, and the spirited, saxophone-driven funk of Saxitude and a special collaborative project featuring Luxembourg saxophonist Joël Metz alongside Scottish bassist Brodie Laird-Jarvie and his group.

As Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival continues to build bridges between Scottish and European jazz scenes, SPARK is your opportunity to experience the dynamic pulse of Luxembourgish jazz.
