If you are so lucky to visit the beautiful city of Venice in the near future, you must know you have the chance to enjoy Veneto Jazz Winter 2010, a complete programme full of acts linked to the jazz world, which brings the best current artists to different cities in the Veneto region. The proposal includes not only the jazz genre but also features contemporary music through concerts, exhibitions and conferences.

If you are one of those people who own the whole discography of Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Stan Getz, Chet Baker or Thelonious Monk, and you would rather sell your mother-in-law on eBay before parting with your jazz collection, then you can’t pass up this opportunity.

Jazz ‘made in Italy’ and much more
In its 13th edition, the festival organizers have planned a line-up with the best of Italian jazz, international artists, up-and-coming talents and even special productions in order to find out about different Afro-American music expressions.

Among the Italian masters of jazz, we must high light the prestigious trumpeters Enrico Rava and Paolo Fresu, pianist Ludovico Einaudi and composer Remo Anzovino. There will be also key names in current jazz history, such as double-bass player Eddie Gómez, who will pay tribute to the great Bill Evans, with whom he collaborated for long time. And for female jazz and soul vocalist lovers, you have an appointment with Sarah Jane Morris and ‘the Janis Joplin of jazz’, Térez Montcalm. Sounds good, doesn’t’ it?

So, if you want to try to draw attention to yourself and show off your elite musical taste, away from the crude radio hits, your place is the Veneto Jazz Winter. Don’t fall asleep at the wheel! You have time until halfway through April, so if I were you, I would book accommodation right now and rent Apartments in Venice, the cheapest way to stay in the City of Canals. The best jazz is waiting for you!
