Bern once again has a festival of traditional jazz
With the four-day Blues and Jazz Sessions Berne festival, jazz returns to Bern's Kursaal after a long absence - from April 17 to 20, 2014.
Lillian Boutté, the grande dame of New Orleans jazz, funk founder Pee Wee Ellis and blues icon Ron Thompson will be performing. English piano virtuoso Simon Holliday and a selection of international jazz stars, including Evan Christopher, Don Vappie and Patrick Artero, will close the festival.
The Blues & Jazz Sessions Berne 2014 are being organized by Nicole Wälti, who co-organized the Jazz Tage Lenk for many years, and her partner Mike Grossenbacher, who is also a musician himself.
Tickets will be available from January 10, 2014 via the Kursaal Bern website.
