Fest Jazza is a small international jazz festival that started last year in Koprivnica, town in the northern Croatia where I was born and lived for few years.

Although it started in 2015, the festival has a history that goes a long way: the people behind it are a group of jazz musicians and aficionados that have been promoting jazz around this region and have organised more than 180 jazz concerts in the last 20 years. So, I guess, organising a festival was the next logical move to make!

The main programme has been held on the city’s main square, under the stars and in the hot summer nights - it really felt like we were somewhere on the seaside :) Besides the main concerts, Fest Jazza 2016 also included improvisation workshops, movie screening about the legendary jazz master Boško Petrović and jam sessions and, very important to say, all the events were free!

Visiting my family for the weekend was a great opportunity for me and my wife to check out the festival and go out at night together for the first time since our second son was born 10 weeks ago :) Due to family obligations, sadly I wasn’t able to cover all the Festival’s activity and all the bands, but I enjoyed the ones that I could - looking forward to the next year already! ;)
