Hook up on jazz!
Valamar Jazz Festival
www.valamarjazz.com
Poreč, July 6 to 9, 2011

The city of Poreč will again this summer become a capital of jazz, hosting some of the most important names of the international jazz scene.

The second edition of Valamar Jazz Festival will be held on seven different locations in Poreč, from July 6 to July 9, 2011, run by the artistic director, our renowned musician Tamara Obrovac. The sounds of live jazz will follow the audience of Valamar Jazz Festival and the guests of Poreč through the narrow, charming city streets and on the terraces of coffee bars, while jam sessions will be held in the elegant garden of the unique Villa Polesini.

The first evening of the main program, on July 7, 2011, will take place in the Euphrasian Basilica, the most beautiful integrally preserved monument from the sixth century, which has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list. The unique sacral setting of the basilica will host one of the leading European jazz artists, Richard Galliano, and his Piazzola Forever Septet. Their concert will be preceded by Tamara Obrovac and her Transhistria ensemble in cooperation with the Czech string quartet Epoque, presenting their new album.
On Friday July 8 and Saturday July 9, the artists and the audience will meet on the island of Sveti Nikola, just opposite the main quay, where the main festival program last year took place. On Friday, the stage by the sea will host the quartet of the new jazz star, Miguel Zenón, and the true diva of the world jazz, the Brazilian pianist and singer Tania Maria and her Viva Brazil Quintet.
Saturday July 9 will start with the performance of one of the most highly esteemed trumpeters and composers of contemporary jazz – Tom Harrell Quintet will be a genuine treat for all lovers of post-bop jazz. The festival will end, just like last year, in the dance rhythm, with the best European funky band - Nils Landgren Funk Unit.

The introduction to the main program of the second Valamar Jazz Festival will be the concert in the lapidarium of the County Museum of Poreč region on July 6. For this event, Valamar jazz team joins forces with POU Poreč and their traditional event „Jazz in Lapidarium".

After exceptionally positive reactions of Croatian and world public to the first edition of Valamar Jazz Festival, held last year, there was no doubt that jazz in Poreč will become a traditional event for all lovers of good music, the scent of the sea and Mediterranean charm.

Quality accommodation will be provided by the festival's main patron - Valamar Hotels & Resorts – in its numerous hotels and camps.

Do not miss being in Poreč from July 6 to July 9, 2011!
