This year, the Koktebel Jazz Party festival will traditionally please the guests with an amazing line-up of participants. This was stated by Sergey Golovnya, saxophonist, composer and one of the two art directors of the Koktebel Jazz Party in an interview with RIA Novosti.
"We plan, as usually, an amazing cast − we are negotiating with the People’s Actor of Russia Igor Bril, David Goloshchyokin, Larisa Dolina. We communicate with the great actor Igor Sklyar, who has recently become a jazz musician. He and I should have had an evening at the Actor’s House, but everything was canceled due to the pandemic. I think this program can be shown on the main stage in Koktebel. Of the rising jazz stars there will be Nastya Lyutova, who has already had a very impressive start up. We have to work in a rather unpredictable situation, but this will not affect the outcome − the festival will be a bomb, I’m sure", — the musician said.
He also assured that all the performers who will come to Crimea on August 21-23, will "just tear their instruments up" on the stage of the festival.
"The musicians are literally hungry for music now! I think those who come to Crimea will simply tear their instruments up. They will show all their skills and will fly away to heaven! And the listeners with them", — concluded Sergey Golovnya.
Koktebel Jazz Party appeared in 2003 as a private initiative of the founder of Koktebel jazz − journalist Dmitry Kiselev. Every year, three days in August are filled with performances by novice jazzmen and leading jazz groups in Russia and the world.
