The Enjoy Jazz Program 2018

At the successful press conference on June 27 at the Europäischer Hof, festival director Rainer Kern announced the 2018 festival program! This year's artists show that the Enjoy Jazz Festival values tradition, but also promotes innovation and creativity. The festival will be opened this year by the West African collective Les Amazones d'Afrique. The Beirut-based Mashrou' Leila will close the festival. There will also be a world premiere with the first live performance of Archie Shepp 's album Fire Music. Shepp will also be attending the festival as artist in residence for other concerts, such as his duo concert with Jason Moran. In addition to well-known Enjoy Jazz such as James Farm and the award-winning Michael Wollny, who will be performing with his trio, you can also look forward to the experimental sounds of Radian and the collective The Anarchist Republic of Bzzz , which combines tradition and experiment. Other program highlights include the Aaron Parks Trio feat. Ben Street & Billy Hart, Avery*Sunshine, Punch Brothers, Josef Leimberg and many other exciting guests.
