The biggest jazz festival in the Baltics, Jazzkaar has announced
this year’s main programme. From 17 until 26 April, the festival will
welcome to the stage winners and nominees of Grammy Awards, the special
project “Antarctica 200” and popular groups from Estonia.
The main programme of this year’s Jazzkaar includes a total of 40 groups
from 18 countries. The 10-day music celebration will be expanding
borders in many ways. While Jazzkaar has always offered a wide selection
of music genres and actively promoted jazz music among the general
public, the 2020 festival will present a one time only special project,
“Antarctica 200,” which literally crosses geographical borders in
featuring audio material recorded in the polar desert. Also, this year’s
festival programme includes more groups led by women that ever before:
16 out of 40.
For those who love music for the soul, the programme offers numerous
international vocal stars. In addition to previously announced big names
such as Dee Dee Bridgewater, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Cyrille Aimée,
Flora Purim and Airto Moreira and others, this year’s festival line-up
has been complemented with well-known artists such as the world’s most
famous Indian musician, percussionist Trilok Gurtu, the American
drummer, jazz vocalist and a Grammy nominee Jamison Ross, and the
American soul singer and songwriter Avery*Sunshine. More minimalistic
and electronic sounds will be brought to the festival by atmospheric
music of the German pianist Niklas Paschburg, ambient sound of the
Icelandic duo, Hugar and many other outstanding groups.
There is a festive spirit in the air. Celebrating the 10th anniversary
of their first concert together at Jazzkaar, which led to the release of
their first album, “Kooskõla,” Vaiko Eplik and Kristjan Randalu will
open the festival with their concert “Dissonance of Harmony”. Singers
Kadri Voorand and Liisi Koikson also offer magic in numbers. Voorand,
who was recently awarded Jazz Album of the Year at the Estonian Music
Awards, celebrates the 15th anniversary of her debut at Jazzkaar. On
this occasion, she will prepare with Mihkel Mälgand a special project
that also includes a string quartet. This year it will be 15 years since
Liisi Koikson released her award-winning jazz album, “Väike Järv”. In
celebration of this anniversary, the singer will pay a tribute to the
past, performing the popular songs from the album once again.
We are particularly happy to see the debuts of young musicians at
Jazzkaar concerts. Ramuel Tafenau, Rita Ray and Anett are not only
dazzling musicians, but also create fascinating music themselves.
“I consider it important to always present top European jazz at the
festival. We can expect the most profound and beautiful experience from
the Norwegian-Swedish trio, Rymden, led by the fascinating pianist and
composer Bugge Wesseltoft. Also, for 30 years already I have been
following the work of Marc Ribot, a brilliant guitarist with bold ideas,
who will be performing at this year’s Jazzkaar with his punk-jazz band,
Ceramic Dog. Musical diversity similar to that of Jazzkaar is a rare
find,” says Anne Erm, the artistic director of the festival, introducing the concept of this year’s festival.
There is even more reason to rejoice. For the sixth consecutive year,
the Telliskivi Creative City will become the cultural hub of Tallinn. In
addition to the traditional festival venue, Vaba Lava, the audience
will be hosted by the concert space of the adjacent photography centre
Fotografiska Tallinn, which will be turned into the ‘Small Hall’ of
Jazzkaar for the time of the festival, offering an improved
soundproofing and a more intimate atmosphere. The festival venues too
expand their borders, with Vaba Lava and the fine-art photography
centre, being combined into a symbolic whole. The two buildings
associated with creativity will be connected by a tent where visitors
will find an information centre, a ticket point, a wardrobe and a café.
The 31st Tallinn International Festival Jazzkaar takes place from 17
until 26 April 2020 in various locations around Estonia. Read more about
the festival programme and artists on our website. Tickets are
available at Piletilevi sales points and online at http://www.piletilevi.ee" rel="nofollow - www.piletilevi.ee . We are looking forward to seeing you at Jazzkaar!
