Jazzy June & July in Merano

JJJ These days Merano resounds with saxes, basses & more. It's time for the Suedtirol Jazz Festival: travelling music for the main South Tyrolean cities. It's just cool to have coffee break and meet musicians just along the way back to the office :)

Jazz nights in Merano

I was there again :) I'm trying to enjoy them all, I love good jazz music! Next Wednesday another night with the Zato so sings quartet band at the Caffè Kunsthaus :)

A few steps into nature and towards good music

Last Sunday I had a strangely intensive day. Actually I'm taking advantage of my new big passion for hiking and go any time I can and find some willing friends following me in some improvised excursions. By now I manage to go up to the mountains once a week on Sundays :) This time it was the turn of the "Meraner Hütte". We started from Merano, drove 20 min. till Falzeben and went up by walking. As we reached the "Rotwand" we decided to go further to reach the Meraner Hütte, it took us another hour. Close to our destination we met a group of blond horses, quietly browsing among people caressing them gently. I liked to see them, even if I'm deadly scared about hourses - and they know it...! After these 12 km we could enjoy a South Tyrolean meal, the climate - approx. 15 degrees - permitted us to eat dumplings even in summer ;)
As I came back home I was quite wrecked, I rasted a bit and then got ready for a jazz concert in the Puccini Theatre: it was the last night of the Merano Jazz Festival. My sweet mum and I could enjoy the Dave Douglas Brass Ecstasy. Funny, entertaining and affecting, just as good jazz music can be :)

Jazzy time in Merano

Sunday will be the last concert day of the Südtirol Jazz Festival Alto Adige. The series of jazz concerts boasts a long tradition and brings the beloved genre all over South Tyrol.
Last Tuesday I could enjoy the travelling concert just outside of my office. Funny, delightful, jazzy notes in Merano...! The next appointment is the Merano Jazz Festival, July jazzes!
