Jazz Festival «Do#Dj» is a mouthful of fresh air amidst dusty Donetsk spring. Even for the ones, who are indifferent to jazz or the ones, who don’t like it. «Do#Dj» has long become a sign of good taste in music, as due to its irreproachable taste, the organizers manage to bring to Donetsk genuine professionals and truly artistic and talented performers from all over the world. Besides, they are never mistaken – the audience is ecstatic about it, as usual.

«If only we could have more festivals like that, political situation would become more stable» –director of the Department of cultural affaires in Donetsk city administration Nikolay Yurenko announced at the Opening Ceremony of the 7th International Jazz Festival «Do#Dj». Indeed, the festival gathered Ukrainians, Americans, Russians, Lithuanians and Poles on a single stage. It is true that when it comes to art, political contradictions shamefully retreat into the farthest corner .

Donetsk becoming a capital

Have you ever seen a world-scale star, who would photograph his fans in the heat of the show?.. I would love to believe that some of you have been watching this soulful scene one of these days. If, of course, you are a music Lover with a capital ‘L’ and visited International Jazz Festival «Do#Dj 2007» in the «Youth» Palace on May 10 and 11!

It’s been a while since International Jazz Festival «Do#Dj» has seen such an insane amazement, as during the shows of the Russian Alexey Arhipovsky, also known as the «Paganini with a balalaika», and a Lithuanian vocal band «Cosmos». And though this year’s program hosted even greater stars, such as Russian National Music TV and Radio Station Georgiy Garanyan big band and Bolivar-Ovrutsky-Butman Trio (USA), they did not succeed to receive such a number of applause from the audience.
