Sunshine on the cloudy days
Estonia has been found a new recognizable music arena with its various festivals of the world jazz musicians. The first festival took place in 1967, and was continued in 1990 after the Singing Revolution. Estonia could finally open its doors to the West. The winds of freedom made the music sound louder than ever before.
Today Jazzkaar brings us sunlight throughout the year. We are welcomed to join the concerts of the various interpretators in Autumn Jazz (Sügisjazz), Nõmme Jazz, Christmas Jazz ( Jõulujazz), Student Jazz (Tudengijazz), Spring Jazz (Kevadjazz), Summer Jazz (Suvejazz), and in the music events in the middle of Estonian nature.
Since 1995, Spring time in Estonia has been always filled with the music of various talents from all over the world. Besides the capital Tallinn one could listen to jazz in Pärnu, Tartu and Viljandi. “Jazz will bring the spring“, said Anne Erm, the director of the festival Jazzkaar.
This year the first concert of Kevadjazz took place on the 2nd of March in Café Amigo and was supported by the US Embassy in Estonia. It was the performance of the wonderful Ericka Ovette, who is a well-known storyteller in soul music and also noted as the follower of Ella Fitzgerald.
Anne Erm has called together artists who represent the different moods of jazz. Among the many, we should name Horre Zeiger and his big band which was founded in 1954. The orchestra has played various western jazz hits throughout the Soviet Union era in Estonia. Today, Horre Zeiger will play his piano together with old and new talents in jazz. In autumn the big band will celebrate its 50th birthday.
The Spring Season will end on Wednesday, March 24 with the legendary Estonian funk and jazz vocalist Marju Kuut who appears in BonBon during the Jazz Lounge vol.9 session. Jazz concerts will continue in April where one of the most famous music groups will be Earth, Wind and Fire Experience.
