Jus Jazz 2015, an annual jazz fest series is coming to 4 cities across the country this October. Initiated by Jazz Addicts, a group 3 jazz enthusiasts, will present the jazz fest at NCPA - Mumbai and Qla - New Delhi. A private concert will be held at Oberoi Hotels, Gurgaon as well. While, in Goa, the event is being organized in association with Roarrr Media and PR.  

Pradip Bhatia, Co-Founder, Jazz Addicts says, “We started our endeavour as Jazz Addicts with the intent of popularizing the goodness of mainstream acoustic Jazz in our country and have been successfully hosting events in Delhi and Mumbai since 2012. In 2013, we witnessed that Jazz connoisseurs, especially Igor’s fans from neighbouring cities including Goa travelled to Mumbai to relish the show. With our foray in Goa this year, we shall be entering newer cities in the coming years to present to the people, world class Jazz musicians within their areas of reach.”

Last year, Igor Butman Big Band mesmerized the jazz lovers with a 18 member band. This year Butman is back with his quartet - Saxophone, Drums, Double Bass and Piano. The highlight of the concert would be talented blind vocalist and Pianist, Oleg Akkuratov. Oleg is a unique jazz and classical musician, who has won countless international contests and the World Health Organization’s “Health“ award entitled "For the will to live.“

Apart from the concerts, Jazz Addicts in collaboration with Rotary Club of Mumbai Nariman Point will also organize an interactive workshop between Igor Butman Quartet and the visually impaired students from the National Association of Blind at Little Theatre, NCPA, Mumbai on October 5. Havana at Gordon House, their hospitality partner will host a high tea for the students and the band.

Speaking about the event, Apurva Agarwal, Co-Founder - Jazz Addicts says, “Everybody is keyed up about watching a visually impaired pianist play this year with Igor. By virtue of this workshop, we look forward for the students to draw inspiration from Oleg and learn from him, ways to convert shortcomings into strengths”.

The tour starts at Goa on Oct 4 at Justa Bay 15, followed by concerts at Mumbai NCPA on Oct 5 & 6. The Delhi concert is scheduled at Qla on Oct 7, while the Oberoi Gurgaon concert will be held on Oct 8.
