Marius Giura @ Jazz x TM x Life 60-70-80

The Sound Archive's project "Jazz and Social Life under Communism" explores this year the rich history of Romanian jazz during the socialist period. After a documentation of the Sibiu Jazz Festival between 1974-1989 and a recent exhibition dedicated to it in the same city, we now turn our attention to jazz in Timișoara.

What was the jazz scene in Timișoara like in the period before 1990?
What impact did it have on the city's social and cultural life?
What were its international connections?

Thursday, october 17, 6 pm, Casa Artelor, Studio Hall
Guest: Marius Giura
President of the Jazz Banat Cultural Foundation and director of the Gărâna Jazz Festival, Marius Giura talks about the evolution of Banat jazz and the dynamics of the local scene in the post-1990 period.
