The Debrecen Jazz Days looks back on a history of 36 years.
WHERE JAZZ IS ALWAYS IN
Starting out from the south of the United States, jazz used to be the music of protest but by today it has become the international synthetic folk music of the 20th and the 21st centuries. The inclusion of the Debrecen Jazz Festival among the prestigious events of this genre can be attributed not only to the list of high-quality international celebrities that appear on the stage but also to the special atmosphere that has evolved at Lake Békás in the city's Nagyerdõ district. Jazz is said to be in fashion again, but it has constantly been in for 36 years now in Debrecen since the first festival was held. One of the largest jazz festivals in Central and Eastern Europe will feature concerts by international as well as internationally known Hungarian musicians and singers. The performers include Tomasz Stanko, a living legend of jazz, often called as the Polish Miles Davis, the Adam Pieronczyk Trio, which produces unmistakable music with tenor and soprano saxophones, the Colors, and Krzysztof ?ciera?ski and his band. The Hungarian "team" consists of Djabe, the country's best jazz-world band, the Debrecen Jazz Group, the local champion of the music, and the Zakar Trio, which plays mainstream jazz.
