VIDEO: Cork Jazz Festival - Mix of all kinds of jazzmatazz hits the right notes

An eclectic mix of music at this year’s Guinness Jazz Festival is drawing in the crowds and making the festival a hit with fans of all genres of music.

From hip hop legends Blackalicious in The Pavilion to acts like Gary Numan, Aslan and The Drifters, who play on Monday night in Cork Opera House, the jazz estival is catering to a wider audience than ever.

The Coronas, who played the Opera House on Saturday night, are about as far from jazz as you can get, but that didn’t deter pleased punters. “They were fantastic, I absolutely love them,” Nancy Mooring, a Cork native and dedicated Jazz Festival attendee, said. “I know they’re not jazz, but then, ‘The Jazz’ has never been just about jazz, has it?”
