Jazz-Funke jumped

A return on the period from July 13 to 22 is very positive as the organizers communicate. From the first concert, the spark of jazz jumped on the many visitors with the Thuner Full Steam Jazz Band. With the Dutch Swing College Band the penultimate Saturday and an exceptional boogie-woogie concert by Nico Brina and Chris & Mike, the wave of ovations continued on the first Sunday.

Another highlight of the program was American blues singer Shemekia Copeland. which has seduced the audience from the first note with its fantastic voice and sincere style. Copeland was followed by Thun Blueser Philipp Fankhauser, who caught the audience with his group of eleven musicians.

Attendance continued to increase

The direction at the bottom of Simmental was one of the hotspots of traditional jazz fans during the ten days of the festival. Despite the bad weather in the second half of the week, the organizers recorded a strong increase in the number of visitors, which is also linked to the varied program of Dominique Müller and Andreas Beer. The dates for next year are already known: The Jazztage 2019 will take place from July 12 to 21. (Bernese Oberland)
