2020 Jazz Society of Ecuador Winter Jazz Festival
Internationally renowned Jazz Musicians performing at the Jazz Society Cafe, Cuenca, Ecuador January 3rd-4th 2020 “I believe that jazz is the most personal form of musical expression, and as such expresses the full range of emotions we all experience. Jazz was born in America as an expression of the experiences and emotions blacks in the South. Because of its emotional range, authenticity, and humanity, it quickly evolved and spread throughout the US, Europe, and the rest of the world. Jazz is a language, and like literature, there is a broad range of jazz, some that’s joyful, and some that’s deep, meaningful, and emotionally nurturing. The full spectrum of jazz is what we present at the Jazz Society Café, the performance venue of The Jazz Society of Ecuador located in Cuenca, Ecuador. Presenting jazz is our effort to unite us all in our common desire for peace and humanity. —Jim Gala, Director, The Jazz Society of Ecuador Contact:

Wonderful Gershwin
George Gershwin is one of the very few 20th century composers to be as well known and admired in the world of classical music as in the world of jazz when countless performers have appropriated his works It is in this repertoire of songs with extremely varied melodies that Mathilde Ferry and Fabien Ruiz decided to draw together to write a musical show, a joyful and elegant homage to this “wonderful” composer! But beyond the music, “WONDERFUL GERSHWIN” also tells through words, the blazing life of this genius who died prematurely – at the age of 38 – leaving behind a colossal work and an inimitable style !

Steve Kuhn Trio
Steve Kuhn piano, Steve Swalloe eb, Billy Drummond dr. ### The second concert in April 2020 is dedicated to the “classical” piano trio with piano, bass and drums. Steve Kuhn, born in Brooklyn in 1938, is one of the outstanding representatives of that trio tradition that Bill Evans founded in the 1950s together with bassist Scott LaFaro and drummer Paul Motian. An introverted and lyrical sensibility finds its place in jazz, characterized by impressionism, cool jazz and an equal balance of instruments. Contact:
