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:aja monet
DESCRIPTION:aja monet (US) \naja monet\, lead vocals; Brian Hargrove\, piano; Micah Collier\, double bass; Zach Morrow\, drums \naja monet is a multidisciplinary artist in the finest sense of the word – a poet\, writer\, spoken-word virtuosa\, cultural worker\, community organiser and activist based in Brooklyn. Her writings address the themes of injustice\, persecution\, resistance and systemic violence from East New York to Palestine (she has been deeply involved in discourse surrounding the occupation over the last ten years)\, but also belonging\, motherhood and notions of community. At age 19\, she was the youngest ever Nuyorican Poets Café Grand Slam champion. \nHer debut album\, when the poems do what they do\, (recorded in collaboration with a roster of esteemed musicians\, most notably Chief Xian aTunde Adjuah\, and also Samora Pinderhughes\, Lonnie Holley\, Marcus Gilmore…) is a mind-altering spoken-word cry\, centering around themes of Black resistance\, love\, and the inexhaustible quest for joy....More ... “These aren’t poems for poets\, but poems for everyone.” Last year\, it was nominated for a Grammy Best Spoken Word Poetry Album. Her upcoming book\, Florida Water\, explores migration\, belonging\, and healing amid climate change and systemic violence. \n  \nSaturday\, 5 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 Linhart Hall (aja monet) presale (until 1 July inclusively) EUR 35\, 28*\, regular prices EUR 38\, 32*\n*visitors aged under 25\, over 65 and pensioners \nBUY TICKET\n[vc_row_inner hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1745910177483{padding-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y5huroEaqI8&ab_channel=ARTEConcert” css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Y-X9CpSiQ0″ css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KL7-sx1K2DE&t=1s” css=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner] \nwhen the poems do what they do by aja monet

Furthermore\, the core of his musical expression\, rests on a solid foundation. He studied jazz at the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music in New York\, where – perhaps more importantly than the degree he never completed – he met Robert Glasper\, a frequent collaborator\, through whom Bilal became involved with artists such as Q-Tip and Mos Def. \nA singer\, songwriter\, multi instrumentalist and producer considered one of the United States’ most distinctive musicians at the intersection of contemporary R&B\, neo soul and jazz\, Bilal is a key innovator in contemporary African American music. Acclaimed for his wide vocal range and improvisational skills\, as well as his ability to blend and seamlessly transition between genres\, he has garnered particular praise for his unique\, unforgettable live performances. \n...More ...\nHis debut album\, 1st Born Second (2001)\, was released under the guidance of producers including Dr. Dre\, James Poyser\, and J Dilla. Any attempt to list all of his collaborators would be needless\, but it remains important to note that during the pivotal late 1990s\, Bilal was deeply immersed in New York’s vibrant rap and neo soul scene. His invaluable dedication earned him a place in the experimental collective The Soulquarians – a group of artists blending jazz\, soul\, and hip hop influences (alongside D’Angelo\, Erykah Badu\, Questlove\, Mos Def\, Talib Kweli\, J Dilla\, and Raphael Saadiq\, among others). This truly unique\, if not revolutionary\, collective redefined American Black popular music and left an enduring legacy of musical innovation.\nAs a featured artist on Kendrick Lamar’s song These Walls (as well as several other tracks on the album To Pimp a Butterfly)\, Bilal shares a Grammy Award for Best Rap/Sung Performance\, while his performance with The Roots is widely regarded as one of the most engaging in the entire Tiny Desk series. His most recent album\, Adjust Brightness\, came out last year. While all of this already sounds impressive\, it offers only a brief glimpse into the remarkable credentials of this singular artist.\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=eB4oFu4BtQ8″ css=”.vc_custom_1774951601002{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nB7fhyqh0IM&list=RDnB7fhyqh0IM” css=”.vc_custom_1774951606027{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgSjKelFElE&list=RDsgSjKelFElE&start_radio=1&t=6s” css=”.vc_custom_1774951611196{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]

DESCRIPTION:Asher Gamedze Quartet (ZA\, VB) \nAsher Gamedze\,  drums; Byron Wallen\, trumpet; Pat Cleaver\, bass; Piero Bittolo Bon\, saxophone \nSouth African drummer and percussionist Asher Gamedze has made his mark with a potent mixture of rich local musical traditions\, free improvisation and contemporary jazz idioms laced with radical social and political thought. \nA self-taught musician with an impressive roster of collaborators (among others\, Angel Bat Dawid and Nduduz Makhathini)\, Gamedze’s watershed year on his journey of tapping\, pounding and general noisemaking was 2020\, when his critically acclaimed debut album\, Dialectic Soul\, came out. It was followed by Two Duets: Outside Work two years later. 2023 saw the release of another remarkable work\, Turbulence and Pulse: the semi-improvised\, temperately-flowing album underscored by spiritual echoes came out on International Anthem – the preeminent authority on progressive jazz practices. ...More ...Last year\, this same label went on to release Constitution\, an epically sprawling\, communal and all but orchestral double album by the ten-piece ensemble Asher Gamedze & The Black Lungs.\n \nGamedze’s work consistently engages with the themes of resistance and anti-colonialism\, aiming to challenge the notion of culture as a static entity. \n  \nSaturday\, 5 July at 20.00\nPark Main Stage\nDay pass without the concert in the Linhart Hall (aja monet)\, presale (until 1 July inclusively) EUR 15\, regular price EUR 18\nDay pass with the concert in Linhart Hall (aja monet)\, presale (until 1 July inclusively) EUR 35\, 28*\, regular prices EUR 38\, 32*\n*visitors aged under 25\, over 65 and pensioners\nBUY TICKET \n[vc_row_inner hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1745910177483{padding-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgS7mLmWtJ0&ab_channel=ARTEConcert” css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_RXmXmnkt0″ css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00pRrgCHK0c” css=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner]\nTurbulence and Pulse by Asher Gamedze

SUMMARY:Nduduzo Makhathini
DESCRIPTION:Nduduzo Makhathini (ZA) \nNduduzo Makhathini\, piano; Dalisu Ndlazi\, bass; Kabelo Mokhatla\, drums \nMakhathini is a leading exponent of today’s South African jazz – a pianist\, composer\, philosopher\, and Zulu healer. He exploded onto the international scene in 2020 with his debut release for the venerated Blue Note Records\, Modes of Communication: Letters from the Underworlds\, which to connoisseurs revealed hints of the musical legacies of pianists Abdullah Ibrahim and McCoy Tyner. \nuNomkhubulwane (2024) is his latest and third release on Blue Note. A three-movement tour de force\, it occasionally veers into classic jazz convention\, being at its most convincing in moments of soaring elation and references to the architects of spiritual jazz\, such as John Coltrane and Pharoah Sanders. His work is a way of restoring the sophistication and self-sufficiency of African culture\, reclaiming the heritage of Africa stolen during colonialism. ...More ... Accordingly\, Makhathini sees music-making as a process of spiritual transformation\, which he explores theoretically in his doctoral thesis\, interweaving improvisation and the ancient African cosmology of Ntu. Expect an hour of impeccable sound\, ambitious yet airy arrangements and rare but essential whispers of shamanism! \n  \nSaturday\, 5 July at 21.30\nPark Main Stage\nDay pass without the concert in the Linhart Hall (aja monet)\, presale (until 1 July inclusively) EUR 15\, regular price EUR 18\nDay pass with the concert in Linhart Hall (aja monet)\, presale (until 1 July inclusively) EUR 35\, 28*\, regular prices EUR 38\, 32*\n*visitors aged under 25\, over 65 and pensioners\nBUY TICKET \n[vc_row_inner hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1745910177483{padding-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B8A7gAqcUXc&ab_channel=ARTEConcert” css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZEX0uACd64″ css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AdIlZXlM2Wg” css=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner]\n[vc_row_inner hide_bg_image_on_tablet=”” hide_bg_image_on_mobile=”” css=”.vc_custom_1745910177483{padding-bottom: 100px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VYPr6iIJ-I&ab_channel=ARTEConcert” css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abqO9xKsZEA” css=””][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ icons_position=”left”][vc_video link=”” css=””][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner] \n \n  \n
