As Wednesday evening wore on, jazz music filled the air at the Arts Council of Pakistan (ACP) on the 35th day of the ongoing World Culture Festival being held in Karachi. 

Saxophonist and sound composer Luise Volkmann, guitarist Paul Jarret and Max Andrzejewski from Germany captivated the audience with their exciting jazz music. 

The audience was left grooving to the beats at the concert which was held at the ACP's Auditorium 1 at 8pm. 

Earlier in the day, ACP President Mohammad Ahmed Shah, Sindh Minister for Home & Law Zia Ul Hassan Lanjar and Minister for Culture, Antiquities, Archives & Tourism Zulfiqar Ali Shah inaugurated the Azerbaijanian exhibition "Second Life: The Art of Revival".
