For the 5th consecutive year, the Alfa Jazz Fest took place in Lviv by the end of June. Because he is a big fan of jazz music, Svyatoslav Vakarchuk is used to attend to the shows of this international festival with his family...

Do you know that Lviv is one of the main cultural centers of Ukraine?
I'm not surprised that a jazz festival takes place every year in this beautiful city!

I had the opportunity to watch online some of the Alfa Jazz Fest concerts and I have to say that I especially liked Herbie Hancock & Wayne Shorter's performance: I was singing during the show, improvising on the melodies... :) That's what I love with jazz: when the music is good, everything is possible!
"Through
improvisation, jazz teaches you about yourself.
And through swing, it
teaches you that other people are individuals too.
It teaches you how to
coordinate with them."
- Wynton Marsalis -
It seems that I was not the only one to enjoy this evening: Svyatoslav said on Twitter that this concert was one of the best concerts he ever attended!
Ah! Jazz...

I'd have a lot to say about jazz... But I prefer to sing it. Enjoy! :))
