Jazz is improvisation. Improvisation is jazz. With the "Hidden Sessions," the Festival da Jazz is launching a new, small but exquisite format that focuses on improvisation. Not by the musicians, but by the audience! Interested festival guests can subscribe to a news alert, which will provide very short notice of the "Hidden Sessions" concerts during the festival.

KERNFUSION VON SWING UND TECHNO

Zu den faszinierendsten Acts am Festival da Jazz zählt seit Jahren die Jazzrausch Bigband aus München. Höchste Zeit für ein Gespräch mit ihrem Gründer und Leiter, dem Posaunisten Roman Sladek.

Hintergrund
JAZZ BRAUCHT FRAUEN

Der Anteil an Jazzerinnen ist noch immer gering. Am Festival da Jazz werden Konzerte von Frauen gefördert. Doch das reicht längst nicht aus, um das Ungleichgewicht zu beseitigen.

About the Festival

The Festival da Jazz is a festival of locations. A rare proximity to the artists connects all of the festival's venues. Even the main stage – the Dracula Club – only seats approximately 200 guests. Stars and legends such as Al Jarreau, Chick Correa, Diana Krall, and many more have performed in this extremely intimate setting. In addition to the main concerts, the Festival da Jazz spreads its groove in and around St. Moritz with a variety of free concerts: brunch and aperitif concerts on the Hauser Terrace, late-night concerts in the Sunny Bar, and many more.

Breaking into the music business is a huge hurdle for many young artists. In addition to skill and luck, it takes a lot of energy, perseverance, persistence, and time to gain a foothold. The New Generation #JazzLab aims to make this step a little easier for motivated young talents.

With ‘Women in Jazz’, the Festival da Jazz has been working for more than 10 years to ensure that more women - especially in the field of instrumental jazz - are represented on stage.
