BJD Bratislava Jazz Days

Infos zum BJD Bratislava Jazz Days

When a group of enthusiasts organized the first year of Bratislava Jazz Days in 1975, none of them would even imagine later great success of the event. It became a European class festival with annual appearance of world jazz stars.

Das Festival findet jährlich seit 1979 statt.

In the beginning, musicians from Czechoslovakia and neighboring socialist countries performed at the festival. In 1977, musical groups from Western Europe appeared there for the first time - a Finnish big band Retuperä and German trio Weiden. In 1979, Bratislava welcomed the first American musician - trumpeter Lee Harper.
In the early 1980s, Bratislava Jazz Days became a big, professional festival with performances of various jazz musicians from Czechoslovakia and several European countries.

In 1982 harmonica player and guitarist Jean Toots Thielemans appeared at the Jazz Days - the first world class musician. One year later, in 1983, a radical change happened. Two American superstar jazzmen arrived in Bratislava - guitarist Larry Corryell and drummer Jack De Johnette together with his group Special Edition.
