"The Jazz Manor" is one of the largest festivals in Russia, refined, catchy, brutal for living and at the same time exciting blood music - of course, we are talking about jazz. In just a few years, since 2004, this event has evolved from a "flat-room" in the open air for its own to a global event for fans of funk, acid jazz, lounge and blues.
The first "jazz homesteads", which, for a minute, are held on the territory of the most luxurious architectural ensemble of Arkhangelskoye, began with just three scenes . But even then they were performed not only by artists from Russia or near abroad, but also the Russian emigrants anty . For the first time at the festival foreign performers were noted in 2008 ., then "Jazz Manor" received the honorary title of the international event in the world of music . I must say, very important event . In different years here have visited and with pleasure played their programs legendary Marcus Miller, the Israeli trio Avishai Cohen Trio, jazz bands from the USA: Branford Marsalis Quartet, Charlie Hunter Trio, Aaron Parks, Lucky Peterson, as well as guests from Sweden Nils Landgren, Great Britain - The Brand New Heavies, Germany - Jazzanova Live !, India - Trilok Gurtu, Belgium - Zap Mama, Finland - Jimi Tenor and many others . Among Russian stars can not be called Orchestra Oleg Lundstrem or Big Band Igor Butman .
Moreover, it was the "Jazz Manor" that opened the eyes of the Russian public to the mass of worthy jazz bands, taught to whistle and hoot after a cool solo on sax, showed how nice it is to sip ice champagne under the age-old lindens of Arkhangelsk under pleasant music , and generally taught to spend leisure stylishly and profitably! It's no wonder that a two-day festival is so popular today
By the way, besides acquaintance with the newest musical trends, "Jazz Manor" carries a social mission. For example, thanks to the festival, the amazing estate of Arkhangelsk is visited by thousands of people, not just looking into local museum funds, but also thinking of visiting here again. That is, music helps to restore interest in old Russian manors, and also draws attention to the problems of preserving the architectural and cultural heritage of our country.
