"Travel" to unexpected jazz improvisation paths of high aesthetics

Visit Vamos

Despite the pandemic, the 10th Jazz in July festival, which is held every July in Vamos, will take place again this year. Slightly differentiated, slightly more minimal, but always of high aesthetics and value, and even opening new fields of action.
