Festivals of Italy
Umbria Jazz Festival
The Umbria Jazz Festival is one of the most important jazz festivals in the world and has been held annually since 1973, usually in the month of July, in perugia, Italy. Furthermore, the Umbria Jazz Winter Festival takes place annually in late December to early January in the city of orvieto.
The Festival was officially born August 23rd,1973 concerts of Aktuala and Thad Jones & Mel Lewis orchestra, in whose ranks one militant young Dee Dee Bridgewater, at natural theater of Villalago in Piediluco (TR). Merit of the efforts of Carlo Pagnotta, Perugino merchant and jazz fan.
The formula of the show for the first years is definitely different than it does today: touring and free, between some of the most beautiful locations in the Green Heart of Italy as well Villalago, Piazza del Popolo in Todi, Piazza IV Novembre in Perugia, the Romano theater in Gubbio, the Albornoz Fortress in Spoleto and Piazza San Francesco in Umbertide.
The success of public was enormous and immediate. Too enormous and immediate, so much so that there began to be logistical, organizational and security problems. The Umbria was bursting with so many people. To say, Count Basie once failed to reach the stage, caught in a traffic jam of people.
The heart of Perugia for 10 days becomes a global musical village, where every hour you listen to notes between the medieval buildings and squares. A real godsend for fans of good music. And not just for them.
