Dmitriy Kiseleyev – founding father of International jazz festival in Koktebel - announced to the guests that all the four days of the festival everybody will “hung up” at the speed of light. Jazz at the speed of light – is the motto of the present, fourth Koktebel jazz festival.
To the organizers’ words, this year a unique action is going to be: musicians from different cities will play together on-line. To Dmitriy Kiseleyev’s words, it was impossible to do earlier even with the help of modern means of communication, as the sound was received with a delay.
Right now, due to Internet, musicians may hear and see each other as if they are on the same stage. Yesterday the first successful attempt to play simultaneously at a distance was realized. Musicians – pianist Leonid Ptashka and trumpet player Andriy Ikov – played in Moscow hotel yard concurrently with the performers onstage in Koktebel: pianist Andriy Kondakiv, bass guitarist Andriy Arnautov, drummer Oleksiy Fantayiv, saxophonist Dmitriy Oleksandriv and Polish violin player Tomash Mukha.
Being 1200 kilometers away from one another, jazzmen played “The girl from Ipanema”, Antonio Carlos Jobim’s bossa nova of “Godfather” in this style and, of course, they couldn’t keep from jam kept by the musicians who performed on the big Voloshyn’s stage: one of the most outstanding bluesman from Canada Kenny «Blues Boss» Wayne and Brazil trio «Brazil All Star» headed by percussionist Edson “Café” Da Silva.
Today musicians in Koktebel will play at the speed of light together with colleagues from Oxford (Great Britain), and tomorrow with musicians from Kyyiv. The high spots of the performance will become Finnish trio Olli Siikanen Power Trio and one of the pioneers of Soviet jazz saxophonist Oleksiy Kozlov.
