No Jazz

Overheard a guy yesterday who stopped and read this poster, and then said: "Stockholm Jazz Festival. Now without Jazz!"
Not entirely true, but still: 2 out of 9?

As Frank Zappa said: jazz isn't dead, it just smells... ;)

/O.K.

Which would have been my comment on this post had you not said it already!

Isn't there a big jazz festival in Turku, Finland each year where they still do the right thing? I think most of the big American jazz names have played there. Maybe it is not Turku but Bjorneborg, further north...

Yes, Pori Jazz in Bjorneborg. I looked briefly at their program and Ziggy Marley, Steely Dan etc are the headliners there as well. But the jazz/non-jazz ratio is far better.

Better (in this case): > 1
