Some of the bands that will perform at the festival will later travel to other venues in India.
The first day will witness performances by New Bone Quintet from Poland, Lindi and Mimi from South Africa, Sylvie Bourban from Switzerland and Oscar Acevedo Quartet from Colombia.
On March 16, bands like Sachal Vasandanti from US, Radha Thomas from India, Ararat from Israel and Oleg Butmen Jazz Trio are set to perform.

"Every major city such as Montreal, London, Stockholm and Edinburgh has a world class Jazz festival that is not just named after the city but almost defines its cultural ethos.
"With a truly International Jazz Festival we intend to include Delhi in this list and make it a truly world class city. For the lovers of music in Delhi, this three-day unique festival would be a treat of great music from around the world in the serene environs of the Nehru Par," says ICCR director general Suresh K Goel.
