The Jerusalem Jazz Festival at the Israel Museum popped off last week.

"The basis of this music is really with our African roots. For me, the blues never left Africa to the US." Check out Boubacar Traoré at the Israel Museum for the Jerusalem Jazz Festival.
There is a slew of other local jazz musicians, of various stylistic leanings, on the roster, and also plenty for fans of more commercial sounds to shout out about.
