Bodø Jazz Open was initially called Bodø International Jazz Festival, then Bodø Jazz Fest. In autumn 2010 it was proposed to change the name to Bodø Jazz Open. This name seemed more appropriate for a festival open to all genres and rhythmic expressions. Bodø Jazz Open was initiated in November 15, 2010 by Jan Gunnar Hoff, Tore Johansen and Erik Johansen. In 1921 'Bodø Jazz Band', with a lineup of 15 musicians, was established as the first jazz band in Bodø. Bodø Jazz Open took place for the first time in January 2011, and was a celebration of 90 years of jazz in Bodø. Since the city has a long tradition of jazz, it was a natural thing to establish a jazz festival here. Bodø's downtown is small, with hotels and airport easily accessible. This makes Bodø an ideal place for a jazz festival.[2][3]
The number of events during the festival rose from 25 in 2011 to 33 in 2012. The goal for 2013 was not to increase the number of events, but to consolidate and ensure the quality of the festival. In addition to evening concerts Bodø Jazz Open also arranged gigs called "After Work Jazz". Musicians are set up in different cafés, and give free performances for café visitors and others who come by.[1]
