XXXI. INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL PRAGUE 2007

The same as Prazske Jaro (Prague Spring) festival of classical music represents for the Czech scene of classical music, the International Jazz Festival represents for the lovers of jazz. And what is it? It is The Event.

This autumn is the 31st expedition into the deep waters of jazz. It is true, though, this year the waters are much vaster than usual. The past years were mostly concerned about the classical forms of jazz, but this year’s dramaturgy turns the direction on some more progressive jazz forms, such as jazz rock, acid-jazz, world music, blues, ska, funky, soul and others.

The greatest moments of the festival are taken care of by:

• The American singer Dee Dee Bridgewater with her Red Water project
• The famous funky saxophonist Pee Wee Ellis with his incredible show
• The phenomenal cosmopolitan music group N.O.H.A. Playing a combination of drum´n´bass, electronic jazz, pop and dance rhythms
• The New Zealand group Rotterdam Ska-jazz Foundation

Thematically arranged evenings are going to take place in the halls of the Congress Center Prague, Lucerna Music Bar, Rock Café and Reduta Jazz Club, the whole festival is from November 23th to 30th 2007.
