SUMMARY:Pino Ninfa: Jazz Spirit\, photography exhibition 
DESCRIPTION:Pino Ninfa: Jazz Spirit\, photography exhibition \nCurated by: Žiga Koritnik \nItalian photographer Pino Ninfa’s exhibition is a journey into the world of jazz. The series of black-and-white photographs is defined by an exceptionally strong narrativeness\, the stories of musicians and their work\, as well as the events before\, during and after a concert. Stories on- and offstage\, in between sacred places and secular architecture\, in the middle of nature or by the seaside\, aim to capture a gesture or a reflection\, waiting for the decisive moment....More ...\n \nSicilian-born\, Milan-based photographer Pino Ninfa has been pursuing a career in music photography for a number of years. In addition to covering major music festivals\, he dedicates himself to developing multimedia projects with various musicians. He served as the official photographer of the Heineken Jammin’ Festival for many years and has covered several editions of the Umbria Jazz Festival. He has showcased his work in various museums in Italy and internationally\, including the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa\, the Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche in Treviso and the Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome. \n  \n \n1 July (opening at 7.30 pm) – 5 Sept\nSmall Gallery\nPre-events\nadmission free \n\nSponsor of the Small Gallery

He has a total of twenty gold records and three gold albums\, as well as an impressive songbook of jazz standards. \nIt goes without saying that working with a roster of artists as diverse as Ornette Coleman\, John Zorn\, Joni Mitchell\, and David Bowie calls for tremendous musical versatility and the corresponding technical virtuosity. He cites Miles Davis\, Wes Montgomery and The Beatles as having the biggest impact on his music. \nMetheny has been a key player in fusion jazz for the past four decades\, with a broad community of followers\, also satisfying their preferences for experimentation. We have consistently followed his artistic development\, hosting Metheny with different line-ups at the Jazz Festival Ljubljana three times\, most recently nine years ago. The Pat Metheny Group\, active since 1978 with various changes in personnel\, has decisively shaped the development of the jazz fusion genre and allowed him to evolve his distinctive lyricism under the auspices of ECM Records. \n...More ...\nHe composes contemporary classical and film music\, dreamy solo ballads\, and virtuoso pieces\, creating a canon of new standards\, while also keeping an eye out for young new talents with whom to share his vision. Thus\, in 2016\, which many in the US see as the advent of a new dark age\, Metheny started the Side-Eye project. The name is slang for “raising an eyebrow\,” being sceptical\, distrustful\, or disapproving\, which is how the world has been looking at the US since 2016. Among the first to be invited to his home studio were two brilliant musicians\, pianist James Francis and drummer Marcus Gilmore; their Side-Eye NYC (V1.IV) album instantly earned a Grammy nomination.\nThe latest core lineup of the Side-Eye III+ project consists of Chris Fishman\, a drummer-turned-pianist from the Louis Cole (Knower) orbit and the rising drumming star Joe Dyson\, who brings New Orleans–style vehemence to the trio and has inspired Metheny to write several new compositions specifically for this trio. At Ljubljana Jazz Festival the non-classical guitar–piano–drums trio will be joined by Californian musical up-and-comer on bass\, Jermaine Paul. At the end of February\, their latest album was released on Pat Metheny’s newly founded label\, Uniquity Music Their\, which from now on will house of Metheny’s entire catalogue from 1984 and onward.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qef5Ui5qo6Q&list=PLnM2cuYLcpQ4E4Os-NhFFeFlosbuRc4Ks&index=2″ css=”.vc_custom_1775119546262{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmH_e5IS6DQ&t=5s” css=”.vc_custom_1775119563850{margin-bottom: 80px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msypyORj4-g&t=19s” css=””][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

The moment she first stepped onto the stage\, she did so with total confidence\, forging her own style – uncompromising and unrestrained. Over six decades\, she has moved effortlessly across genres\, performing at the Sanremo Festival\, recording over 20 albums\, and acting in theatre and film – all by following her heart\, in her own words. She has received three Grammy Awards and a Tony Award for her role as the Good Witch in the Broadway musical The Wiz. \nThroughout her career\, she has been driven by personal integrity\, professional autonomy\, and boundless creativity\, and has also given a voice to the voiceless as a UN Goodwill Ambassador. Twenty years ago\, she founded her own record label\, DDB Records\, and became a producer. She holds honorary doctorates from prestigious music universities and was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame. Her musical credentials read like a who’s who of jazz royalty: Sonny Rollins\, Dizzy Gillespie\, Horace Silver\, Dexter Gordon\, Max Roach\, Ray Charles\, B. B. King… \n...More ...\nJust as she once received advice from her role models Ella Fitzgerald\, Sarah Vaughan\, and Betty Carter\, who taught her to be fearless and command the stage\, she now passes on her experience and knowledge to younger generations. Through her Woodshed Network programme\, Dee Dee has recently mentored young female jazz musicians\, sharing her wisdom on surviving in the male-dominated music industry and standing up to discrimination and misogyny. Her protégées include Jazzmeia Horn and Lakecia Benjamin.\nIn this spirit\, and as a direct response to the Gaza war\, she formed the quartet We Exist!\, bringing together young female musicians – pianist Carmen Staaf\, bassist Rosa Brunello\, as well as drummers Shirazette Tinnin and Evita Polidoro. The band’s repertoire\, opposing patriarchy and social injustice\, is like a journey through the history of songs of rebellion and long-unheeded warnings from the past. Dee Dee Bridgewater\, now a musical icon herself\, pays tribute to the timeless luminaries Roberta Flack\, Nina Simone\, Billie Holiday\, and Abbey Lincoln\, reaching for the most haunting songs in the jazz canon\, such as Tryin’ Times\, Danger Zone\, Strange Fruit\, Mississippi Goddam\, I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel To Be Free – all the while inviting the audience to listen to the lyrics. Truly listen.\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWHNexCCTfI&t=2437s” css=”.vc_custom_1775043073905{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ILQSMDI5Ak&t=50s” css=”.vc_custom_1775043100784{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/live/IcA6NvcraME?t=1259s” css=”.vc_custom_1775043125971{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1774520466972{margin-top: 35px !important;}”][vc_column icons_position=”left”][vc_column_text css=””][/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Jazz in Books
DESCRIPTION:Jazz in Books \nBooks about music are never literally “about music”. They are about the people who compose\, mould\, and play music\, and they are about the (social) contexts\, or rather\, environments\, in which music is made. While these environments are physical\, they are invariably also much more. Books about music are therefore books about communities\, about scenes\, about collaborations and solidarities\, about the social conditions of a particular time… and\, just as importantly\, about intriguing individuals. Consequently\, if we’re interested in certain musics (in our case\, diverse jazz practices)\, we cannot just listen to them. We also have to read them. \nEvent takes place in cooperation with Vodnikova domačija (Vodnik Homestead). \nThe reading corner with books about jazz music was made possible by the Ljubljana UNESCO City of Literature office. \n \nThursday – Saturday\, 3 – 5. 7.\nPark\nAdmission free

SUMMARY:Tarbaby feat. David Murray
DESCRIPTION:Tarbaby feat. David Murray (US) \nDavid Murray\, sax; Orrin Evans\, piano; Eric Revis; double bass; Nasheet Waits\, drums \nWhen it comes to the sheer breath of this man’s creative output and his longevity on the jazz scene\, Murray is practically without equal. A brilliant composer and a totally unique improviser\, Murray is also a founding member of the revolutionary World Saxophone Quartet and has released over 160 (!) albums in his own right over the last five decades. A doyen of avant-garde jazz\, Murray won the coveted Grammy Award in the Best Instrumental Performance category for Blues for Coltrane (1989). \nHis most recent project\, Francesca (2024)\, was chosen as No. 2 Best Jazz Album of 2024 by The New York Times. It was Tarbaby that topped this chart with the album You Think This America. For nearly two decades\, the group’s core trio has been delivering a distinct perspective on social and cultural-political realities\, marked by unrelenting intensity and uncompromising execution. ...More ...They engage with complex themes through carefully crafted concepts and timely contextualization — as exemplified on their 2013 album Fanon\, inspired by the work of philosopher\, revolutionary\, psychiatrist\, and anti-colonial writer Frantz Fanon. \n \nTarbaby and the roster of collaborators with whom they develop musical ideas\, most notably Oliver Lake\, Nicholas Payton\, JD Allen\, Ambrose Akinmusire and Marc Ducret\, share a common sense of responsibility towards music and tradition. Their latest release features arrangements of David Murray’s compositions\, which is why it seemed only logical to join these two eruptive forces into a supergroup exclusively for the Jazz Festival Ljubljana – Tarbaby feat. David Murray. \n\nThursday\, 3 July at 18.00\nLinhart Hall\nPresale (until 1 July inclusively) EUR 24\, 20*\, regular prices EUR 28\, 24*\nDay pass with the concert in the Linhart Hall (Tarbaby feat.

Now\, after a three-year hiatus\, this dynamic quintet emerges once more\, reigniting the stage with a fresh repertoire and a slightly reimagined lineup. The departure of drummer Bojan Krhlanko has made way for the talented Kristijan Krajnčan\, a longtime collaborator of Simon\, author of the performance Med se iskri v temi and a member of Robert Jukič Quartet. This five-headed musical beast is renowned for its exuberant\, whimsical\, and delightfully unpredictable arrangements\, complemented by bursts of inventive and essential improvisation.

About our this year’s Artist-in-Residence\nThe versatile saxophonist\, electronic music artist and composer Boštjan Simon is the leader of There Be Monsters and a member of Etceteral\, Velkro\, Litošt\, Zhlehtet\, Robert Jukič Kvartet\, Kristijan Krajnčan’s “Med se iskri v temi”\, Orkester Brez Meja and Arkos. Since 2017 he has been the artistic co-director of the International Meeting of Saxophonists SAXGO in Nova Gorica\, and since 2022 the artistic director of the experimental music festival Sound Explicit. February 2024 saw the release of Simon’s solo album\, Fermented Reality\, an electroacoustic exploration of the symbiosis between the saxophone and a system of modular synthesizers.\nOne of the three Arist-In-Residence concerts. \n  \nThursday\, 3 July at 19.30\nPark Main Stage\nDay pass without the concert in the Linhart Hall (Tarbaby feat.

SUMMARY:Kavčič/Debelić Quartet
DESCRIPTION:Kavčič/Debelić Quartet  \nAljoša Kavčič\, piano; Luka Debelić\, guitar; Tjan Šoštarič\, double bass; Tijan Grašič\, drums \nThe Kavčič / Debelić Quartet is a fresh jazz combo that brings together four musicians of the younger generation. All alumni of the Conservatory of Music and Ballet in Ljubljana\, Luka\, Aljoša and Tijan started working together on different projects. At LJF Aljoša and Luka will premiere their own compositions\, which the Kavčič/Debelić Quartet will record later this year. The group’s sound is rooted in contemporary jazz\, with an emphasis on classically inspired harmony\, freer form and elements of groove derived from mainstream jazz. The music is open to innovation\, while maintaining respect for tradition – the quartet explores how complex structures can coexist with rhythmic clarity and flashes of inspiration. \nIn collaboration with the Academy of Music. \n  \n\nThursday\, 3 July at  20.30\nPark\, Old Tree Stage\nDay pass without the concert in the Linhart Hall (Tarbaby feat.

SUMMARY:Fresh Dust
DESCRIPTION:Fresh Dust (SI\, PT\, FR) \nBenoit Delbecq\, piano\, preparation; Susana Santos Silva\, trumpet; Samo Šalamon\, acoustic guitar\, Jaka Berger\, drums\, preparation \nFollowing the release of Hilarious Experts in 2019\, the Fresh Dust project\, helmed by Jaka Berger\, is back in a greatly reconfigured form. Now transformed into a quartet featuring first-class international personnel\, its (almost) free improvisations\, for which Berger has written thematic frameworks devised as a mixture of notation and graphics\, place it within the context of contemporary free jazz.\nHalf of the team is composed of two featured artists – Portuguese trumpeter and composer Susana Santos Silva\, “one of the most exciting improvisers in the world” (Downbeat)\, and award-winning Parisian pianist and composer Benoit Delbecq\, a trend-setter who injects the spirit of jazz into John Cage’s prepared piano. The Slovenian members are Samo Šalamon\, one of the nation’s most distinguished guitarists\, and Jaka Berger\, a drummer and percussionist widely known for his stylistic versatility. By means of extended techniques and preparations\, the new quartet breaks the traditional mould of free music. \n  \nThursday\, 3 July at 22.30\nCD Club\nDay pass without the concert in the Linhart Hall (Tarbaby feat.
