Swansea's weekly jazz club, Swansea Jazzland, presents the festival in partnership with Arts Council of Wales, City and County of Swansea and University of Wales Trinity St David and media partners, South Wales Evening Post. Festival Patron Sir Karl Jenkins, commented, "2015 saw the second Swansea Jazz Festival, of which I am proud to be Patron. The event was a huge success. Swansea has no opera house, and no symphony orchestra, with little prospect of either being established in the near future, if ever. We can make Swansea ‘special’ and be proud of the ‘unique’ Swansea Jazz Festival."
