Zahvaljujemo svim učesnicima festivala, klubu Močvara / Jazz u Močvari, hrvatskim i inozemnim fondovima koji su podržali festival i publici.

Eleven Croatian and twenty-two musicians from Denmark, England, Finland, Italy, Montreal, Norway, Portugal and Switzerland performed at the festival. In addition to pre-formed groups, musicians also performed in ad hoc ensembles. During the festival, the Finnish musician Harri Sjöström held a three-day workshop of freely improvised music.
