This music is born to cure the pain from the traumatic experience and the suppression and to develop into an infinite search for values and beauty in one inhospitable world.

The big event of the night is Ron Carter’s concert, who together with Herby Hancock and Wayne Sorter will add to the list of the great jazz dinosaurs. They will appear on the stage of the Palate of Music in Athens this year. The respect, which Ron carter receives for 76 years now in the world of music cannot be compared to anything and the fullness and wholeness of his sound are indisputable when he combines them with perfection and balanced feel of time.

Blind from 5 years old, the genius piano player Markus Roberts is a perfect performer and composer. He meets Markos Alexiou, who is in the vanguard jazz circles in Greece, and together they improvise and play the piano bebop jazz – just the way they like it.

Riot musician, writer and political activist Gilad Adzmon together with his band The orient house Ensemble combines sounds from the East, North Africa, and East Europe, and electronic music into the jazz.
