The Koktebel Jazz Festival is a well-known jazz and world music festival in Ukraine. It takes place annually in second week of September in Koktebel on the Black Sea coast. Till 2013 the festival was held in Koktebel (Crimea), but its 2014th edition will be held in Zatoka and Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi (both in Odessa Oblast).〔(Koktebel Jazz Festival's 2014 venue is Odesa ), Interfax-Ukraine (10 June 2014)〕 == About the festival == Koktebel Jazz Festival (KJF) kicked off in 2003〔http://books.google.com/books?id=gOSwvfCKYVkC&pg=PA203&dq=Koktebel+Jazz+Festival+2003&hl=nl&sa=X&ei=RHeYU9DvLqm7ygOBvYK4Aw&ved=0CCgQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=Koktebel%20Jazz%20Festival%202003&f=false〕 as an attempt to revive Koktebel's status as the cultural center of the region, back at its days famous all over the country. Since 2006, the festival is held in the second half of September, during so-called "velvet" resort season. Despite its young age, the festival has already hosted performances by De-Phazz, Stanley Clarke, Billy Cobham, Nino Katamadze, Us3 and others. Beside well-known names, organizers consider small and young bands. In 2008, festival community was launched ((link )), where anyone can file an application for participation. The best performers chosen by users voting will take part in the upcoming festival. The festival consists of two main stages, which host the festival program, additional stages and numerous jam-sessions. The main stages do not have any entrance fees and are located at the square right near the water, so that the public can sit on the beach during the performance. Visitors and participants value the festival for its unofficial and democratic spirit, induced by the place itself, and the inspiring combination of the jazz and the sea. Remarkable nature of the Kara Dag volcanic mountain range located near Koktebel and range of wines and brandies grown on the vineyards nearby complete the picture. In 2014 the festival was not held in Crimea, but in Zatoka and Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi (both in Odessa Oblast).〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Koktebel Jazz Festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
