Jazz Club В Джаза / Jazz Insights

Friday Night, May 9 at Insight Jazz Club promises an intimate musical celebration!

Guitarist Alexander Kumanov and the remarkable Neven Petrova – a jazz singer with a uniquely memorable voice and interpretations – will present one of their many stylistic incarnations with the program:
“Sensual Bossa Nova & Blues”

In this captivating blend, you’ll hear:

• the elegant beauty of bossa nova from Rio,

• the captivating swing of the mid-20th century, and

• the sensual sound of the blues.

Joining them once again is Hristo Minchev on double bass – their favorite musical partner both in Plovdiv and around the world, with whom they’ve recorded two albums.

Plovdiv’s strong jazz presence is further enhanced by Ivan Melin and his virtuoso trombone playing.

We’ll meet where:

• the roaring streams of the blues merge with

• the deep waters of jazz and

• the cool evening breeze over Copacabana...

Not to be missed!
Tickets: 20 BGN (available at the door)

DIANA KRALL night by Adriana Benova Quintet
An evening with Diana Krall’s music presented by Adriana Benova Quintet
Adriana Benova - vocal
Kalin Jechev - piano
Yasen Vasilev - guitar
Dimitar Shanov - double bass
Atanas Popov - drums
A velvety timbre, warmth, plenty of swing, and a touch of blues—the contralto voice of Adriana will bring to life the most iconic songs from the repertoire of Canadian jazz diva Diana Krall.
In the cosy atmosphere of “Jazz Insights” we will enjoy classic jazz pieces such as "They Can't Take That Away from Me" and "Cry Me a River," alongside signature interpretations of songs like "Just the Way You Are" and "California Dreamin'," and even "Abandoned Masquerade" (composed by Diana Krall in collaboration with Elvis Costello). In addition, Adriana will present some original compositions in the same musical style.

The great Cuban pianist Guillermo Rubalcaba (Buena Vista Social Club) says that Cubans need very little to be happy:
“We simply love life. It’s enough for us to have rum, cigars, the sea, a beautiful woman, and love.”
How simple. How true.
What a different world...
Let’s bring that color into our own souls.
On stage: The Cuban Irenia Vasquez (piano and vocals), whose voice will take us straight to the heart of Havana, together with Martin Velev (percussion), Deliyan Davidkov (trumpet)
Cuban dancers who will set the floor on fire
The event will be hosted by the “living encyclopedia,” a man who has traveled the world many times: Ilmas Mustafov
Thematic decor + Caribbean cocktails + a special menu inspired by Cuban cuisine
Dress code for the mood: linen shirts, Panama hats, colorful dresses and flowers in the hair
This is an invitation to a life filled with Cuban passion:
