As you are fairly new on this site let me tell you a little bit about manners. When you type your message or question in capitals on any PC network, including e mail it is deemed as shouting and a little bit rude. Type in normal script with capitals where necessary and all will be well. Sorry cannot help with your rather rudely worded question.

The Greater Hartford Festival of Jazz

---

---

For so diminutive a city, Hartford presents a striking diversity of jazz. There is of course the Hartford Jazz Society, the Hartt School of Music and the legacy of Jackie McLean, a triumvirate of influences that engenders a deeply rooted “straight ahead” and legacy-driven jazz scene.

Jazz in Prague!

 

The International Festival of Jazz in Prague takes place every autumn in the Czech capital. And it is much more than a simple festival considering its location. This festival portrays jazz in the life of the Czech people with added extras such as food and beer. Furthermore, this festival is a reminder of the long communist period when the country was oppressed; jazz was a way for the people to express their freedom through music in a society which repressed every kind of freedom. Jazz and rock were considered as aggressive music and something that lead to the rebellion. This is why this Jazz festival has taken such importance and acts as a real symbol of freedom. This festival was one of the only ways "to escape" and to keep in contact with the outside world.

 

The first International Jazz Festival in Prague took place in 1964. 2008 will celebrate 45 years since the beginning of this festival, but celebrates only the 30th edition as it was scheduled only every 2 years in earlier days.These 30 editions have seen some major star appearances and have therefore helped the festival gain international recognition. For example, Mr. Acker Bilk and his Paramount Jazz Band performed during the very first edition and also in 1982 and Stan Getz Quintet participated in the festival in 1978. There has also bin many other artists such as B.B. King, Herbie Hancock or still David Brubeck.

 

International Jazz Festival 2007

 

Nowadays, IJF is a mix of classic and modern jazz. In 2006, the winners of the American Grammy Awards, ‘Sugar Blue’ and ‘Rhoda Scott’ participated as guest appearances in the festival. The festival of 2007 was organised with the participation of Rotterdam Ska Jazz Foundation, Pee Wee Ellis, N.O.H.A. and Dee Dee Bridgewater.

To sum up, this is a special festival which offers itself to you in a charming and rich city. This festival is the perfect occasion to visit the magnificent capital of the Czech Republic. This destination is indeed cheap and you will find several affordable while luxurious hotels Prague as well as logement prague. However, if you decide to go in a large group or family, I recommend you book a location appartement Prague; this will be cheaper and will allow you to live in comfort at an excellent price. In the meantime, while waiting in anticipation for this event, why not check out the official website.
