Taking The Stand #2 – with Vijay Iyer
When Jazz Club Jury visited the Tampere Jazz Happening we had a chat with Vijay Iyer about his music and thoughts on jazz. Vijay was a very mellow and considered musician shedding light on his past and how he approaches his music. Look forward to seeing more of him in the future. Enjoy…
Jazz Standard
The name tells it all: the Jazz Standard is undoubtedly the place to be if you are in New York and you are looking for some good jazz. What is more to expect from the club, which is often referred to as one the Big Apple’s most comfortable jazz venue? The Blue Smoke BBQ restaurant [...]
Blue Note Nagoya
Nagoya’s Blue Note Club adds a real cosmopolitan flair to this industrial city. In heart of Nagoya’s colorful Sake District, you can hear worldwide favorites such as Natalie Cole and Keiko Lee in an intimate room.
JazzAscona Festival
Once again JazzAscona follows an established and successful form that focuses on a union between jazz music and quality tourism. In a tasteful setting – a beautiful landscape, refined culture, a tradition of hospitality, sunshine, and excellent cuisine – during the ten days of the festival, Ascona is transformed into a music town, offering intriguing moments at every hour of the day, until late at night. A festive and lively (but livable) town, filled with cheerfulness and confusion but at all times serene and welcoming, in which to live an experience of the five senses and from which to explore a territory with a great tourism tradition and rare beauty – from the sunny Lake Maggiore banks to the green and wild valleys into the heart of the Alps.
Iridium Jazz Club
The Iridium Jazz Club is considered to be the best jazz club in New York city. The house that Les Paul built gets jazzier by the week. Fans all over the world can now watch performances live on the internet with its streaming of gigs.
Freddie Hubbard and Bebop
The invention of Bebop has changed jazz music in more ways than one. So many have played a part and here we focus on Freddie Hubbard and Bebop. A genius in the jazz ranks and one of our favourite trumpet players.
Montreal Jazz Festival
With over 2.5 million festival goers, 800 concerts and 3000 musicians from over 30 countries, this is a biggie. How can you one possibly miss such a jazz event on nine stages and in 10 concert halls. One week just ain’t enough for the sounds you’ll likely miss. Every year the event becomes bigger and better, this year is no exception.
The Stone
Dedicated to experimental music and the avant-garde, The Stone is a non-profit venue curated monthly by different musicians. 100 percent of the revenue generated goes towards paying them. Now there’s a thought…
