The Jazz club organizes the only festival of this music style in the country. It consists of 10 members who play banjo, clarinet, trumpet, alto and tenor saxophone, tuba and piano.

The band performed in many concerts all over Greece and in international festivals.

It has also appeared in Greek television programmes of very high ratings and participated in various recordings.
