TBC Concept, a longstanding supporter of culture and one of the country’s leading patrons of the arts, proudly presents the 19th Black Sea Jazz Festival, taking place in Batumi from July 10–12, 2026.
For over a decade, TBC Concept has served as the traditional presenting partner of Georgia’s premier jazz festivals, contributing significantly to the development of contemporary music and the strengthening of international cultural exchange.
This year’s Black Sea Jazz Festival is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of jazz legend Miles Davis. The festival will open with a special tribute performance by Vince Wilburn Jr., Miles Davis’ nephew, acclaimed producer and drummer, together with M.E.B. (Miles Electric Band). The project reimagines Davis’ musical legacy through a contemporary lens, creating a unique bridge between the past and the present.
As tradition dictates, the festival will take place at the Batumi Tennis Courts, welcoming both internationally acclaimed artists and jazz enthusiasts from across the region.
