Conceptul Jazz in the Park s-a nascut in New York-ul anilor ’80 cu ideea de a aduce muzica buna in Central Park, astfel incat sa fie usor accesibila tuturor si a cucerit rapid si marile orase europene. In 2013 a fost importat pentru prima data in Romania, la Cluj-Napoca. Evenimentul principal va avea loc in Cluj, la sfarsitul lunii iunie, unde vor fi asezate scene mici, variate, ringuri de dans, targuri vintage si o scena centrala mare pentru concertele de seara.
La Blaj aLive, Jazz in the Park va promova o atmosfera jazz, concerte si auditii. Ori Alboher este primul artist confirmat pe scena Jazz, un artist ultra sensibil care abordeaza zona folk, neo-soul, house si trip hop printr-o muzica ambientala plina de culoare, imprimata cu mare atentie pe albumul Unwind, disponibil pe Bandcamp.
De aproape 8 ani, Astronaut Kru Sound System, activeaza in underground-ul muzicii electronice din Romania. Sistemul de sunet astronaut este sustinut de motoare pregatite si setate pentru calatorii intergalactice, printre ritmuri electronice, d’n’b, breaks, dubstep alaturi de techno, electro, idm si alte genuri, toate cu voie buna si vibratie pozitiva. Echipajul astronaut ii are ca si conducatori de nava spatiala pe Burner Greene, Kukilla si Mofo.
Audio Fort este o comunitate de DJ si producatori locali care pun bazele scenei de clubbing din Alba Iulia. “Scena de la Blaj aLive e prielnica pentru dezvoltare, promovare si va aduce un plus festivalului pe care cu totii vor sa il sustina. Vom incerca sa fim prezenti la Blaj impreuna cu Framm’s, un mic bar din Alba Iulia care a acceptat sa sustina miscarea Audio Fort la Blaj aLive.” – Octave aka ORKA, membru fondator AudioMutz si Audio Fort. Alaturi de Octave, la butoanele Audio Fort-ului ii vom asculta si pe Kito, Turturu, Andreus, Akadela, Cris, oweN, Badea, Alex Modoi, Miyka’el si alti invitati speciali ai comunitatii.

The Jazz in the Park concept was born in New York in the 80s as an idea of offering good quality music in Central Park, in such a manner that it would be widely accessible, and soon the idea spread and conquered important European cities. In 2013, it was imported for the first time in Romania, at Cluj-Napoca. The main event will take place in Cluj, in late June, where various small stages will be featured, with dance floors, vintage shops and a big stage for the evening concerts.
At Blaj aLive, Jazz in the Park will promote a jazzy atmosphere, concerts and listening parties. Ori Alboher is the first confirmed for the jazz stage, an ultra sensitive artist who blends folk, neo-soul, house and trip hop in a vividly coloured ambiental music, carefully recorded on his Unwind album, available on Bandcamp.
For almost 8 years, Astronaut Kru Sound System has been a part of the Romanian underground electronic music. The astronaut sound system is in full throttle and ready for intergalactic journeys with electro, d’n’b, break and dubstep rhythms, entwined with techno, electro, idm and other genres, all featuring a positive vibe and a good time. The spaceship crew is formed by Burner Greene, Kukilla and Mofo.
Audio Fort is a local DJs and producers community that lay ground to the Alba-Iulia clubbing scene. “The Blaj aLive scene is perfect for developing and promotion and will bring a plus to a festival everyone cares to support. We will try to bring with us Framms, a small bar in Alba Iulia that has agreed to support the Audio Fort movement at Blaj aLive, states Octave aka ORKA, AudioMutz and Audio Fort founder. Alongside Octave, Kito, Turturu, Andreus, Akadela, Cris, oweN, Badea, Alex Modoi, Miyka’el and other special community guests will be mixing for Audio Fort.
