This paper is devoted to the issue of national jazzology – development of Ukrainian jazz-festival movement. Today, jazz festivals are an important part of socio-cultural life in modern Ukraine. This cultural phenomenon not only reflects the state of musical culture, but also becomes a powerful factor of culture making processes. The aim of this paper – determine the main tendencies of the development of Ukrainian jazz-festival movement during 1991–2012 on the basis of examination of active jazz festivals in Ukraine during its independence and analysis of quantitative and qualitative indexes and the dynamics of their development. On the basis of examination of newly created and revived jazz festivals in Ukraine in 1991–2012 it was determined, that in the territory of Ukraine appeared more than 100 new jazz festivals, but many more jazz festivals were active, including those created before the 90’s, which differed in scale, duration and status. Given period can be conditionally divided into 3 stages, which differ from one another in the number of jazz festivals founded or revived. The first – the period of 1991–2001, during which 33 jazz festivals arose in 11 years (the peak was in 2001 – 7 jazz festivals). The second – transitional – 2002–2005, we can observe a significant drop in creating new festival events – 8 festivals in 4 years. The third – 2006–2012, when only in 7 years 60 festivals became active (the peaks in 2008 – 14 festivals, and 2012 – 11 festivals). So, as for the main tendencies in the development of jazz-festival movement on Ukraine during its independence, they vividly showed not only positive quantitative dynamics of functioning of jazz festivals, but also special qualitative components of its stage, which determined the character of the objectives and functions it performed. In particular, 1st and 2nd stages (before 2005) had strictly informational-propagandist character – this, first of all, active popularization of jazz music, representation of novelties, search and support of new names etc. On the 3rd stage (2006–2012), where joint international projects start to prevail, the communicative function stands out, which in time becomes predominant. So, in ХХІ century Ukrainian jazz-festival movement was characterized by intensive development, which is the continuation of the tendency of enrichment and expansion of the horizons of its abilities. Jazz festivals played a major role in the process of formation of national jazz style and the development of Ukrainian jazz school.
