"Jazz at the Hermitage Garden" will be held at 14 hours,

Of 19 to 21 August will XIV Moscow International Festival "Jazz in the Hermitage." This festival was the first in the country, all of which began with jazz concerts under the stars. Remember how it all began. After more than 15 years ago, visited Moscow jazz producer and journalist Michael Green his French friends. This in turn, knew that his friend the addiction from Russia, well prepared and offered him a choice of several jazz events. The future head of the jazz festival chose open air in Nice and was so impressed by the relaxed and friendly atmosphere in the park impressed Nice, very sorry that Russia is not France, and similar festivals with the rest on the grass, our country is not ever heard. And appeared in Don Miguel (under the pseudonym Michael led the radio), something like that to spend in Moscow. After a few years with Alex Rostotsky Green opened his "land of birds." Why is life? Since such a country exists Birdland in New York City since the end of 1949 and was famous for his story. And once in the ground with domestic residence on the sound of the music director of the garden looked Hermitage Vladimir Rudy. At the time, entrusted to him the object was in ruins. Although hard to believe, but according to eyewitnesses, this park was more of a gathering place for the homeless, rather than resting place of cultural citizens. But the higher authorities entrusted Rudy responsible task with instructions to run the park in order. With these ideas he had, "land birds" are not and, surprisingly, met a kindred spirit. As a result of their joint efforts in the near future prepared and introduced the first jazz festival. Although the event was in August 1998, the premiere is a little euphoria clouded instead. Standard crippled prosperity of our country, what. Financial damage to all sectors of the economy, including the show-business Profit from the premiere was four times less than expected, but the organizers have not, since the premiere of the festival format open-air about five thousand men for the entire concert weekend were burned. At the first festival is only Moscow musicians do to reduce the cost of the hotel with tickets and even without sponsorship. After festivals have begun to expand the geography of the actors and posters have appeared in foreign names. Until that time, the artistic director of the festival of the famous Soviet composer Yuri Saulsky thanks to this festival was started to support the power structure. It is the first Russian opera, and has its own characteristics. Traditionally, the festival will present at the end of a Swiss watch company two of the best jazz musicians clock, which they also produced in small quantities. A review of time "Oscar Peterson" or "Charlie Parker" - fun for every jazz musician. About his musical policy organizer of the festival, as well as program consultant «Open World» Library of Congress SSCHA Michael Green says openly: - Of course, headliners are particularly attracted the attention of the audience. But other than that, I would like to show our Russian and international jazz musicians in the context! At this festival, I invited our world Trio pianist Evgeny Lebedev. After the end of the Jazz Faculty Gnessin Institute of musicians went to the famous Berklee College and graduated, he was in America. During this time, the pianist was awarded a prize Billboard, and formed his own band - a trio that at the renowned International Jazz Competition in Belgium has the top four spots in the categories: ensemble, soloists and play. Pop sensation. Hopefully everything goes as well in Hermitage. - Which western musicians of the festival in 2011 come from? - Will come one of the most famous Finnish musician Antti ARPA. He plays the clarinet and saxophone. We have to play the clarinet is because his program is dedicated to Benny Goodman. Antti And it does almost the same as Goodman. It retains the archaic, and the sound of his clarinet authentic. He will also be accompanied by a big band Oleg Lundstrem with which the musicians play the program was two years ago. And in the air, without having to do the big band festival, wrong. Polish trio Arthur Dudkevich always played jazz interpretations of Chopin. Which can play the Poles? But in this case would be quite unusual program. It will be dedicated to Jimi Hendrix. I admit I did not expect such energy from Arthur. It's even interesting - sounds like rock icon in jazz. The festival program h name of singer Sandy Bonnem. All her family: grandfather, father, mother and uncle were playing jazz. But played the greatest influence on the singer nor her uncle, Benjamin Gray, the classical piano. She sang of the students Horvardskogo Universtitet. The group "Face of the Earth" Sandy started the whole Horvardsky stage. And soon she found herself at the epicenter of jazz. First, it attracted the attention of Lionel Hampton, and then the whole stellar jazz. Sandy was a talented man. Once in Miami, she starred in the films, was musical and taught jazz vocals. Then in Bern (Switzerland) led the school for several years with the program "Jazz in the theater." True, in secret Sandy said that this year is the last in their stay in Bern, after which she plans to move to the United States. In Russia, the singer is a frequent guest. She stands here in 1992 and has special feelings for our country and for the Russians. But in such a big festival they will perform for the first time, it will come with the project «AmerUs». Valery Ponomarev will be at the festival "Jazz in Hermitage 2011" will perform for the third time at the festival, the legendary trumpeter Valery Ponomarev. Behind the Iron Curtain Ponomariov managed to be in America and play in a group of amazing jazz drummer Art Blakey. The only blond, in addition to Russian musician named Jazz Messengers of fans no less interesting than the band itself His memories of faery friend and incredible encounters with elite international jazz trumpeter, described in the book "On the back of the sound." At the festival, along with Ponomariov on the scene come the young Russian musician, and now the Jazz Messengers sound in the Russian version. Chico Freeman - star international level. Only in his own discography 40 albums, and like him! Recorded with other great musicians Like his father, background Freeman, who was a saxophone player and played in the orchestras of Horace Henderson and Sun Ra, he accompanied many blues singers. Chico was in Moscow, in this respect, opinions are divided. If it does then the Jazz Festival in Moscow 21 years ago in ensembles Brainstorm and employees. Of course it is possible to check with him on this visit, although it is not essential. If musicians can get to this level for the festival to be happy.
