Bohém Newsletter

1. BOHÉM FESTIVAL
The 26th Annual Bohém Ragtime & Jazz Festival: March 24-26, 2017, in the Hírös Agóra Cultural Centre in Kecskemét. More news very soon, including ticket-links etc, will be announced on http://www.bohemragtime.com/en/act.html

2. JAZZ CAPITAL FESTIVAL
Mark your calendar for August 3-6, 2017, and our 2nd JAZZ CAPITAL FESTIVAL in Kecskemét, Hungary. More soon but we’ll have about 150 musicians coming from 15 countries.

3. BOHÉMS ON THE ROAD IN EUROPE
If you can’t make it to Hungary this year, you might be able to catch us in your country. We’ll be touring the UK, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Slovakia and negotiating a few other gigs too. So check the Gig Page on our website where you will find all the relevant dates: http://www.bohemragtime.com/en/gigs.html

4. SCOTT JOPLIN CD:
2017 marks the 100th anniversary of Joplin’s death (and probably the 150th anniversary of his birth). We aim to include some of his least-known compositions on our new Joplin CD to be released before summer. It will be a challenging project so watch out for further news. Plus we plan a special Scott Joplin concert at the Bohém Festival and a Scott Joplin Memorial Marathon at the Jazz Capital Festival.

Last, but not least, a few Bohém Festival headliner YouTubes:

HELP US KEEP JAZZ LIVE AND ALIVE!

Popular belief is that Jazz has had its day. Not so! There are plenty of great bands on the jazz circuits - playing at Concerts, Clubs, Festivals. People say the musicians and fans are past their sell by dates and don’t attract younger audiences. Again, not so! There is a Jazz Revival! Numerous younger bands with growing numbers of enthusiastic young fans are making their mark.

Jazz&Jazz is dedicated to keeping jazz LIVE AND ALIVE. We value exchanges of views on all things jazz. You can make your comments by using the “Speak Your Mind” option below each post.

But as Jazz&Jazz coverage increases incrementally in quality as well as quantity so do costs - travel, photography, videos, subscriptions, booking and ticket prices.

CONTRIBUTIONS to help cover costs would therefore be greatly appreciated. Jazz&Jazz also features JAZZ ART, sales of which help finance expenses.

RECENT ACCOLADES

“Jazz & Jazz” is an invaluable platform for news about young bands and musicians. It’s a great way for organisers like me to know what is going on! The enthusiasm of Peter Butler is inspirational and infectious and has certainly done much to boost the reputation of Fest Jazz beyond the boundaries of Brittany. Long may the site continue and flourish!”
Trevor Stent, Good Time Jazz

“Dear Peter, You have embarked on a lonely road. There have been few people painting New Orleans musicians over the years. There was one guy named Frank Caunce … in the 1965 - 72 period who was very good but not as organised as you. So keep doing what you are doing.”
Barry Martyn, New Orleans

“Very pleased to be associated with Jazz & Jazz. It promises to be be an influential contribution not just to the UK but to any one anywhere capable of accessing it. My Old Green River Band is delighted to have the opportunity to register its gigs and geographical whereabouts and to see the results this must have for all those associated.”
Martin Bennett, The Old Green River Band

“Fantastic Peter, you've got a talent for capturing people! Perhaps I need to have a shave!!!
Emile Martyn, The Fallen Heroes.
