"Jazz Koktebel" hopes to find sponsors, but still primarily on its own resources. At the festival "Slavonic Bazaar in Vitebsk" a press conference, the organizers of the famous jazz festival in Ukraine "Jazz Koktebel", by the general producer of the festival Lily Mlinarich, chief director of the festival Alex Kogan and renowned jazz guitarist Alexei Kuznetsov was visited.

Special guest of the "Jazz Koktebel" as a group "Tequilajazzz" was, and this year was spetsgostem "Auktsion." - In response to the crisis, we have no sponsors, but we count on yourself. Musicians were selected in different cities. This year, 164 applications for participation submitted and we drive, otslushivaem. We wanted to do for a long time an open stage for young musicians with his author's music, and the following year, should this scene. The main thing for our festival - an atmosphere of creativity. Koktebel - a warm sea, good weather, there is incredible power of creativity. Alex Kogan recalled the story of how Nino Katamadze caused rain to dry day. Immediately in mind another story surfaced last year, when the same Katamadze to "Barton Jazz" has caused the sun on a rainy day ... The question of "show business news NEWSmusic.ru" about the similarity of the two festivals in terms of a very wide range of musical participants were unexpectedly severe Alexey Kogan response: - I think that's very important when people trust in order to visit the festival. Come listen to Koktebel Jazz and more. Voloshin. mainstream jazz at the scene was played. Though there are only 300-350 people are placed. Last year there shone Anatoly Gerasimov ... not separate festivals right and wrong If you do not see anything interesting in the "Jazz Koktebel" - does not come easy to him. We gush jazz life. Musicians meet in the street during the day and played at night on the same stage. This year, people come to us, the famous American musician Al Foster and the Russian group "Auktsion" - you can go for it! And I'm sure indication of their performances made available. At jazz festivals often play not jazz group, at least for the sake of commercial success. The poster is made for people. On Foster and Auktsion people come and go and Kuznetsova. Lily Mlinarich taken - with the festival "Jazz Manor" We cooperate and make new friends. This year's "Acoustic Quartet" with us to play only as a representative of the "Estates Jazz". Budget figures include the festival was impossible - too much is being done "as a friend" or exchange. - Foreign Embassies stars bring their own costs, they assume the costs. Say brings, Al Foster fully paid the U.S. Embassy. They understand how hard it is independent jazz festival. Alexei Kuznetsov is friendly, and there are musicians. Included if their real fees in the budget? But spending is still serious. We have the cost of sound and light. There are also volunteers, volunteers. Say, environmental volunteer work, they come to 7 clock and clean the beach of debris after the concert, instead of tickets to the festival. And volunteers was surprisingly a lot! On average, the competition 160 applications for 20 places. Koktebel wines and cognacs plant brings us a scene in exchange for the distribution of leaflets and conduct tastings of products. Ukrainian producer of the First National TV Channel helps us to channel A-One and promises to help with the lighting of the festival. We have a good agreement with the radio. But all on barter, or we will not survive! Guitarist Alexei Kuznetsov said that his team have recently launched a program of Beatles songs in the jazz vein. - No matter what I did, I still swing. I swung musician, even if I play "The Beatles". I want the program to make more songs of Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder! It is important that you listen to jazz to young musicians. For 6 years I am a jazz master class at a shop "Accord", the. Transfer to the Russian intelligence service, and cable television Southern Command It is necessary not only to play, you have to explain what jazz is, what are its characteristics. Although I am still learning. And next year will be my birthday and will prepare a big anniversary concert. Finally, I went to the DVD video on the jazz guitar. On the same day the "Slavonic Bazaar" was pre-party of the festival "Jazz Koktebel" with the quartet, Alexei Kuznetsov, Akana-NHS (Belarus) and Lush Life (Ukraine). And late at night, Alexei Kuznetsov quartet played songs from the new program, "The Beatles" and other western stars in the cult club Vitebsk "attic".
