Eurojazz 2010
Type of activity: Jazz concerts Jazz has strengthened its identity by evolving with the new ways of social life developed in the West. It's a lifestyle with a permanent travel visa, residence permit and many birth places. And many destinations. This might give the impression that it would be ignored by many European jazz musicians steeped in American methodology. Fortunately, there are always artists who strive to avoid foreign influence and delve into different territory, which is what all the great creators do. From the start, Eurojazz focuses its program philosophy on continental Europe. It is natural that a festival of this nature would have an artistic line-up that seeks to give European cultural identity to the language of jazz. There's more than a rough sketch behind the idea; it's not only a question of staging a timely festival, but also a real, meaningful project backed by some of the most significant musicians from the thick catalogue of European jazz players. Due to different itineraries, sometimes age differences, and for lack of publicity about their careers, it would be hard to know about these musicians if not for events like these. That, above all, and also the outstanding synergy from its two main supporters, are really the keys to this festival. |
