The Penang Island Jazz Festival, which ran from 2004-2017 over the first weekend in December at the Bayview Beach Resort,[1] was an independent festival organized by The Capricorn Connection, which started out as a two-day event and ultimately expanded into four days with over 100 groups from over 25 countries.[2]

Besides the outdoor main "Jazz By The Beach"[3] stage featuring local and international performers, the festival, which was known for its diversity in talent, had a number of other supporting musical activities.[4] [5]
