According to the Rajasthan tourism department, the Jaipur International Jazz and Blues Festival is a dynamic festival that aims to open the world of Jazz and Blues to a wider audience.

Jazz & Blues are often referred to as cousins that one has its roots in the other. The main focus of jazz music is the dynamics and improvisations of an ensemble, while blues music is usually centered on a single guitar player/vocalist, and the personal lyrical content of the song. Most jazz tunes are purely instrumental, while a blues song always contains lyrics.
