Check out the sights from these exciting jazz-related tours from previous. Maybe this year you can come along and be in the photos.

The Jazz Cruise 2003

JazzTimes partnered again with the Jazz Cruise folks to offer jazz fans a unique opportunity to hear jazz while touring the Caribbean. With The Jazz Cruise, the entire cruise ship becomes a floating jazz festival, with performances and events round the clock. Perhaps the best and most unique aspect of the cruise is that the musicians readily mingle with the audience, their fellow passengers during this stellar week at sea. Take a look at this photo gallery from The Jazz Cruise 2003 and get a taste of the experience.

The Jazz Cruise 2002

What a tough assignment?! Photographer Jim Saah was forced to spend a week on a luxurious cruise ship, where he heard great jazz nearly round the clock, visited beautiful Caribbean destinations and enjoyed the great food and amenities of a very special cruise. The Jazz Cruise is the only all jazz charter and, as you will see from the images Saah brought back from the 2002 edition, the result is a swinging ship, from stern to aft.

Havana, Cuba 2002

Staff photographer Andrew Lepley went along with 240 other jazz and music fans on the JazzTimes Tour to the Havana International Jazz Festival for a whole week in December. Participants had a truly cross-cultural experience, as they visited museums, art galleries, and schools, and saw great jazz from all over the globe.
