The Jazz in Kyiv festival is going to make Kyiv the European jazz capital for three days. The festival includes concerts and master classes held by world stars and the best Ukrainian jazzmen, jazz photo exhibitions and movies. Kyiv hasn't seen so much jazz before.
The goal of the project was to present all kinds of jazz music. The guests of the first day will be Swedish musicians New Tango Orchestra, who don't actually play jazz, but their appearance at the festival will be a commemoration to Argentinean music and creator of new tango, Astor Piazzollo. “New Argentinean tango is a kind of music which jazz musicians are fond of,” explained Oleksiy Kohan, art director of Jazz in Kyiv. The first day finishes with British bassist Dave Holland, a representative of modern jazz and three-time Grammy winner. He will have great support from his band, each member of which is a star in his own right.
