U „Glasu javnosti“ - Svetska džez imena dolaze u Beograd

Ove godine kao i prethodnih, ljubitelji džez zvuka uživaće u 23. beogradskom džez festivalu, koji će nositi simboličan naziv „Striktno džez“, saopšteno je na jučerašnjoj konferenciji za novinare u Domu omladine.

Iako u ovom trenutku još nisu poznati svi izvođači na predstojećem Festivalu, prema rečima Vojislava Pantića, umetničkog direktora Festivala, učešće su potvrdile trenutno najveće svetske zvezde. To su džez pevačica Di Di Bridžvoter i moderni džez klavirista Bred Meldou, a činjenica da su oboje ozbiljni kandidati za Gremi nagradu govori o kakvim muzičarima se radi.
