Plovdiv Jazz Summer – the summer program of one of the biggest jazz festivals in the country, Plovdiv Jazz Fest, started in mid-July. The festival continues with three concerts at Summer Cinema "Orpheus" in Plovdiv and one spectacular free concert in August in the village of Markovo.


There will be concerts on August 8 and 9. On the first night (August 8) we will enjoy the music of world-famous double bassist, singer and composer Avishai Cohen and his trio, and then the group of saxophonist Arnau Garrofé – Frantik Zen. The following evening guests will listen to Beloslava with JP3 and Mladen Dimitrov (Mr. Moon).

Orlin Pavlov

The third summer edition of Plovdiv Jazz Fest will end with JP3 and Orlin Pavlov. Traditionally, the end of the summer festival is a free concert that gathers hundreds of people in the nearby village of Markovo. On August 24 at 9 p.m. in the central square of the village there will be a concert by the singer Orlin Pavlov, together with Zhivko Petrov (piano), Dimitar Karamfilov (double bass) and Dimitar Semov (drums).

In anticipation of these concerts, we recharge ourselves with summer mood with Orlin Pavlov's song "Every Day". It features The Brassstones, as the music is by Yasen Kozev and Krum Georgiev, lyrics by Doni Vasileva, arrangement by Borislav Boyadzhiev.
