Bratislava Jazz DaysSlovenská sporitelna 200421 October 2004 - 24 October 2004 When a group of enthusiasts organized the first year of Bratislava Jazz Days in 1975, none of them would even imagine later great success of the event. It became a European class festival with annual appearance of world jazz stars. In the beginning, musicians from Czechoslovakia and neighboring socialist countries performed at the festival. In 1977, musical groups from Western Europe appeared there for the first time - a Finnish big band Retuperä and German trio Weiden. In 1979, Bratislava welcomed the first American musician - trumpeter Lee Harper. In the early 1980s, Bratislava Jazz Days became a big, professional festival with performances of various jazz musicians from Czechoslovakia and several European countries.In 1982 harmonica player and guitarist Jean Toots Thielemans appeared at the Jazz Days - the first world class musician. One year later, in 1983, a radical change happened. Two American superstar jazzmen arrived in Bratislava - guitarist Larry Corryell and drummer Jack De Johnette together with his group Special Edition. Since then a lot of celebrities have performed there, for example: Chick Corea & Gary Burton, Oregon, John McLauglin, Stanley Clarke, Bobby McFerrin, Flora Purim & Airto Moreira, Lester Bowie & Bras Fantasy, Billy Cobham, Sun Ra Arkestra, Michael Brecker, Steve Coleman's Five Elements, Michel Camilo, Herbie Hancock, James Blood Ulmer, Cassandra Wilson and many more...
