“We invite you to embark on an exciting musical journey. Let’s put on the rose-rimmed glasses and take a peek into the crazy years of jazz. We’ll stroll through the dusty streets of New Orleans with ragtime and swing classics, enjoy world hits from the Golden Age of Hollywood, until we reach the rising “bossa nova” sun of Rio de Janeiro. We will present you a colorful palette of various jazz melodies bringing joy and inspiration” – this is what Veleka Tsankova said a week before the opening of the festival.
