British daily newspaper „Guardian" published list of Top 10 European Jazz Festivals. Serbian Nisville jazz festival is there, too! (11-14 August) According „Guardian" - Top 10 Jazz Festivals in Europe are: North Sea jazz festival (Roterdam - Netherland), Montreux jazz festival, (Swiss), Jazz in Marciac (France), Jazz a Vienne (France), Guinness Cork Jazz (Ireland), Umbria jazz festival (Perugia, Italy), Nisville (Nis, Serbia), A Love Supreme (Saseks- England), Jazz de Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain) and Alfa Jazz Fest (Lviv-Ukraine).


Guardian:

Next to some of the west European biggies, Nišville offers great value for money, if not quite the aesthetic glories of, say, Perugia or Vienne. Not that Niš, Serbias third largest city, lacks appeal: the gigs are mostly staged within the Fortress, a vast green space enclosed by Ottoman walls and gates. Among some striking names to be enjoyed from only €12 a shot, are soul diva Joss Stone, hip hop-and-beyond saxophonist Soweto Kinch, flash fusion/flamenco guitar king Al Di Meola, US jazz aristocrats Cyrus Chestnut Trio featuring Buster Williams and Lenny White, and former Miles Davis saxman Bill Evans. As well as the international stars, the exciting, unpredictable rhythms of Balkan-infused jazz will carry across the avenues and squares of the city from free stages, workshops and impromptu street sessions.
