Jazz Bez International Festival that takes place every year in Lviv is no trivial event for the jazz movement. Now the festival has also been joined by other Ukrainian and Polish cities – Sevastopol, Kharkiv, Lutsk, Lublin, and Jaroslaw.
This means than a new tradition has been born and is developing in Lviv, and that just in a few years the festival has managed to achieve its main goal – to cross the borders between the countries, musical styles, and age groups.
However, Lviv remains both the organizational and ideological centre of the festival. In 2008, eighteen bands from twelve countries of the world paid their visits to our city, those countries being: USA, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Germany, Sweden, Great Britain, France, Russia, Romania, Italy, and Ukraine. Jazz Bez has secured itself a solid place in European jazz ratings, bringing down borders and uniting thousands of music fans from different countries every year.
