Paris Jazz Festival 2009 June 6, 2009

Once summer arrives the cities put on their finest outfits and dress up as it were. The streets are filled with life thanks to the terrace bars, the good weather and the vast cultural and leisure offerings. The summer season brings an endless number of festivals suitable for all tastes and wallets. This is the case of the Paris Jazz Festival, a beautiful festival that is celebrated every year in an incomparable backdrop, the Parc Floral.

Parisian people are great lovers of jazz music. After the celebration of the Primavera Jazz Festival where homage was paid to the jazz music genre, we see the arrival of the 17th edition of the Paris Jazz Festival. From June 6th until the end of July, the most beautiful botanical garden of Europe (Floral Park) will host every weekend the best international jazz concerts. This year’s program includes renowned artists of the world of jazz, blues or funk.

The Parc Floral will become a unique and charming setting. This way, instead of sitting in bland armchairs, the public sits down on the grass and enjoys the music in a different way, merging with nature and the fresh and breezy Parisian nights.

This edition seeks to explore jazz through the pitch and territoriality, which is divided into nations and the nature of the music. It is counting on the best in national and international composers.

The fifth weekend (4th-5th July) will pay tribute to the Vienna Orchestra, one of the most important jazz orchestras of the world.

Finally, alternative activities will take place in incredible open-air theatres. The open-air theatres La Clairière del Impros and the Jardinophone will be the scenery for the alternative activities that will begin between 09:00 and 18:00. People will enjoy storytelling, sonorous landscapes or simply improvised meetings between music and nature.
