Here we go! Umbria Jazz 2011 is about to begin!

Let's start with the offiacial website link for Umbria Jazz (English version of course), and by saying that with the passing of time this music festival has grown to be one of the most important in Europe. It is also possible to say that thanks to Umbria Jazz Italy has discovered and metabolized Jazz music, now fully entered into the mainstream Italian music landscape. But, hey, what's all this jazz about? I'm no music critic, so let me go straight to the event program...

July 8, 2011 is the opening day of the festival.
The main stage will see Caro Emerald, while peripheral, yet important, stages in restaurants and hotels feature Anat Cohen Quartet at Hotel Brufani, and Stefano Mincone Trio at Ristorante La Taverna both at 9 PM, and at Restaurant Stage Henry Butler Trio at 7,30pm
