In his capacity as host of the event, band leader, trumpeter and trombonist Béla Szalóky welcomes fans of traditional jazz both old and new from 5 pm, acting as compère for the Storyville Jazz Band, a Szeged-based Dixieland and trad-jazz outfit, on the Open-Air Main Stage, as well as the Gábor Cseke Trio at the Banner Square and the József Balázs Quintet inside in the Glass Hall.

Each band will perform for almost three hours with only short breaks. While the Storyville Jazz Band performs its repertoire from the 1920s and 1930s to evoke the genuine atmosphere of New Orleans, the indoor concerts once again take the form of jam sessions where outstanding soloists are invited to play together in an informal setting, including on this occasion the likes of guitarist István Gyárfás and saxophonist Sándor Zsemlye.
