Background
The history of The Jazz Society goes back quite a long time, as they are the ones who in 1960 brought to life the Ljubljana Jazz Festival, nowadays still existing as the oldest European jazz festival. At that time, it was called Yugoslavia Jazz Festival and was held in Bled, moving to Ljubljana only later in 1967. Sometime at the end of the 1970s, the festival organisation was taken over by the than newly established Cankarjev dom, Cultural and Congress Centre.
Consequently, The Jazz Society for a few years ran its own festival (once again set in Bled), organised regular concert evenings in Ljubljana and worked on the local jazz culture, managing, for example, to install a jazz course into the Ljubljana Music and Ballet Conservatory curriculum. Thus, setting up the Festival of Slovenian Jazz was a logical step to make.
Music programme
Some of the bands and musicians that appeared at the festival are RTV Slovenia Big Band, Jure Pukl Quartet, Balžalorsky / Drašler 3o, Lolita, Vasko Atanasovski Trio, Jazoo, Robert Jukič, Jaka Kopač, Zlatko Kaučič, Cene Resnik and Igor Bezget. Along their side, one could find such notable musicians as Giovanni Maier, Clarence Penn, Howard Curtis and Wayne Darling.
