Manifestacija je predstavljala kulminaciju jednog ciklusa u radu Doma omladine Beograda, gde su se zatekli ljudi sa jasnim afinitetom prema d\u017eezu, poput urednika programa Gute Grdani\u010dkog i Milana \u0160evi\u0107a, kao i d\u017eez eksperta Aleksandra \u017divkovi\u0107a, novinara Tanjuga. Prethodno je u seriji koncerata \u201ePodijum d\u017eeza\u201c predstavljen zna\u010dajan broj ameri\u010dkih umetnika, da bi kona\u010dno \u017divkovi\u0107 pisao D\u017eord\u017eu Vinu, direktoru \u010duvenog Newport Jazz Festivala, iskazuju\u0107i \u017eelju ku\u0107e da radi sa njim. Prvi veliki doga\u0111aj sa Vinom, najavljen kao \u201enajve\u0107i koncert d\u017eeza ikada odr\u017ean u Beogradu!\u201c, odigrao se u novembru 1970. godine, kada su iste ve\u010deri nastupili Erl Hajns, Anita O\u2019Dej i \u010carls Mingus.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A year later, at the start of the Festival, publicist \u017dika Bogdanovi\u0107 wrote: \"Overwhelmed with excitement and a new surge of hope, for the first time in this city, we welcome extremely distinguished guests - some of the greatest living figures of jazz... We already got Bitef, Bemus and Fest: now we also get the Newport in Belgrade, with a sincere hope that it will become a cultural tradition of this region.\"\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duke Ellington and His Orchestra otvorili su prvo izdanje festivala. \u010cetiri dana d\u017eeza u Velikoj dvorani Doma sindikata osvetlilo je celokupnu istoriju \u017eanra, od diksilend nevinosti Kid Thomas\u2019 Preservation Hall Band, preko baperske vatre The Giants of Jazz i intimnog impresionizma Gerija Bartona, do avangardnih klopki Orneta Kolmena i razvratnog d\u017eez-fanka Majlsa Dejvisa. Prvo izdanje bilo je deo spektakularne \u201eAmeri\u010dke d\u017eez nedelje u Isto\u010dnoj Evropi\u201c, ali Beograd je jedini video i Majlsa na li\u010dnu intervenciju \u017divkovi\u0107a, s obzirom da je Stejt department odbio da ga \u201epo\u0161alje u Evropu\u201c zbog kontroverznih stavova, te uz pomo\u0107 Du\u0161ka Gojkovi\u0107a, koji je starog prijatelja ubedio da nastupi \u201eiza Gvozdene zavese\u201c. Dok je slavni truba\u010d u smiraj manifestacije izvodio muziku na koju niko nije bio pripremljen, svi su ipak bili svesni da prisustvuju menjanju istorije. Beograd je postao svetska d\u017eez metropola, a festival postavio te\u0161ku obavezu samom sebi ve\u0107 na prvom koraku \u2013 da budno prati svetske trendove i bude njihov hroni\u010dar.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following year, Aleksandar \u017divkovi\u0107 was appointed as a program selector, assembling the \"Dream Orchestra\", the first Yugoslav All-Stars Band. George Wein was still in charge of the rest of the program and Belgrade welcomed the famous jazz journalist Leonard Feather and jazz broadcaster Willis Conover. On the sidelines of the main program, the Youth Center Dancing Hall hosted a series of memorable jam sessions that have since become a staple of the Belgrade Jazz Festival. The third edition already bared the name the Newport-Belgrade Jazz Festival. Belgrade band Korni grupa represented the local music, and for the first time, the audience got to watch a non-American jazz ensemble, the Polish vocal quartet Novi Singers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\"The Youth Center presents the Belgrade Jazz Festival\", the cover of the 1974 catalogue clearly indicated the big change: a local organization was capable of arranging the Festival and selecting the acts. For the first time, the main program took place in the Pioneer Sports Hall in front of a 4000-strong audience each night! America was represented by Sonny Rollins, McCoy Tyner and Stan Getz, as well as the Newport production Musical Life Of Charlie Parker. Vibraphone player Bo\u0161ko Petrovi\u0107 and his band B.P. Convention represented the local musicians, and there were performers from Argentina, West Germany and the Eastern bloc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u017divkovi\u0107 prepared the next edition before focusing on his management career, becoming one of the great impresarios of jazz. Sa\u0161a Radoj\u010di\u0107 took over the helm in 1976 and the Festival kept a similar concept - with several big stars from the USA, the best domestic jazzers, and European artists. Concerts mostly took place in the Union Hall, jam sessions in the Belgrade Youthe Center Dancing Hall, and for the performance of the world's most popular fusion band Weather Report, the festival \"returned\" to Pionir Hall at the opening in 1980. Fun fact: the ninth edition officially never happened - it is most likely that the organizers \"rushed\" the jubilee celebration in 1979 to ensure better funding and greater interest from sponsors and the media.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the harsh period of economic recession, the Festival almost got shut down, but in 1986 it was \"saved\" by the tremendous support of the US Embassy for the comeback concert of Miles Davis in the packed hall of the Sava Center. With the renewed interest from the audience, the Festival continued until 1990 as in its best days, presenting in the program Chick Corea, Herbie Hancock, Phil Woods, Art Blakey, Nina Simone, Jimmy Smith, Dizzy Gillespie United Nation Orchestra, Oregon and Modern Jazz Quartet, among others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Amid the civil war approaching Belgrade in the fall of 1991, the Belgrade Youth Center management issued a statement about the postponement of the Festival: \"We apologize to our audience, jazz enthusiasts, culture envoys for refusing to live in illusions. We expect an apology from the real culprits for this unprecedented human and cultural misery we live in.\" The break went on for the next fifteen long years...\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Povratni\u010dko izdanje odr\u017eano je 2005. godine, pod sloganom \u201eTradicija i futurizam\u201c. \u017deleli smo da na njega pozovemo publiku koja se se\u0107a prvih Njuporta, ali i nove klince, ili ljubitelje muzike koji mo\u017eda imaju \u201esluha za d\u017eez\u201c, a da jo\u0161 to ne znaju. Nova koncepcija nije zna\u010dila samo ravnote\u017eu izme\u0111u tradicionalnijih d\u017eez stilova, avangarde i ukr\u0161tanja sa popularnom muzikom novog doba, ve\u0107 i zna\u010dajniji naglasak na mla\u0111e umetnike, kao i prebacivanje te\u017ei\u0161ta sa SAD na Evropu, sagledavaju\u0107i izvanredne rezultate umetnika na na\u0161em kontinentu. Prepoznaju\u0107i zna\u010daj festivala za stvaranje najbolje kulturne slike prestonice, grad Beograd je 2007. godine proglasio manifestaciju doga\u0111ajem od posebnog kulturnog zna\u010daja. A zahvaljuju\u0107i evropskim stremljenjima u novoj programskoj koncepciji, festival je 2014. po pozivu postao \u010dlan Europe Jazz Network.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Festival svake godine pose\u0107uje veliki broj inostranih novinara i fotografa, od SAD do Rusije, i od Velike Britanije do Italije, izve\u0161tavaju\u0107i za presti\u017ene d\u017eez \u010dasopise i portale, me\u0111u kojima su DownBeat, The New York City Jazz Record, JazzTimes, All About Jazz, Jazz Wise, Jazz Journal, London Jazz News, Concerto, Jazz Flits, Laboratorium Muzycznych Fuzji<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">..<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Srpski fotograf iz Temi\u0161vara Dragoslav Nedi\u0107 okitio se priznanjem za d\u017eez fotografiju godine u glasanju Jazz Journalists Association, za fotografiju ameri\u010dke peva\u010dice D\u017eezmije Horn sa 35. Beogradskog d\u017eez festivala. Koncerte sa festivala dva puta je direktno za gledaoce u \u010detrdesetak zemalja prenosio francuski MEZZO kanal, 2008. (Patri\u0161a Barber i Jaron Herman) i 2009. godine (Kurt Eling i Terens Blan\u0161ar).\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dvadeset izdanja u drugom \u017eivotu manifestacije obilovalo je nezaboravnim trenucima, gostovanjima velikih d\u017eez stvaralaca i brojnih talenata koji su tek kasnije postali slavni. Festival danas zna\u010dajnu pa\u017enju posve\u0107uje doma\u0107im umetnicima, preuzimaju\u0107i odgovornost za afirmaciju srpskog d\u017eeza, kako kod nas, tako i u inostranstvu. Po\u010dev od 2008. festival svake godine naru\u010duje jednu originalnu produkciju nekom istaknutom doma\u0107em sastavu ili solisti \u2013 nastup sa premijernim programom i eventualno presti\u017enim gostima iz zemlje ili inostranstva. A po\u010dev od 2015. organizuje se i srpski showcase, na kome predstavljamo sastave prete\u017eno mla\u0111e generacije sa aktuelnim projektima.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Na glavnom i prate\u0107em programu dosad je nastupilo oko 580 sastava ili solista. Oko \u010detvrtinu u\u010desnika \u010dinili su doma\u0107i izvo\u0111a\u010di, oko 30% Amerikanci, te oko 45% sastavi i umetnici iz Evrope i \u201eostatka sveta\u201c. Procentualna zastupljenost doma\u0107ih sastava pre i posle pauze je sli\u010dna, dok se procenat inostranih u\u010desnika promenio. U prvih dvadeset godina, bilo je oko 45% ameri\u010dkih, a 30% neameri\u010dkih izvo\u0111a\u010da, dok je od 2005. godine naovamo bilo 20% ameri\u010dkih, a preko polovine neameri\u010dkih umetnika.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rekordnih 18 nastupa na festivalu imao je Big bend RTS, nastupaju\u0107i obi\u010dno sa uva\u017eenim gostima iz zemlje ili inostranstva. Rekordni broj individualnih nastupa kao lider orkestara i malih sastava, ili istaknuti solista imao je Du\u0161ko Gojkovi\u0107. Me\u0111u inostranim liderima rekorder je Dizi Gilespi sa 5 nastupa, a u novijoj istoriji manifestacije D\u017eo Lovano sa 4 nastupa. Posle SAD i Jugoslavije\/Srbije koji ubedljivo odska\u010du, na tre\u0107em mestu po broju u\u010de\u0161\u0107a su austrijski sastavi, sa 23 nastupa na manifestaciji. Festival je najdu\u017ee trajao 2019, \u010ditavih 8 dana sa uvodnim i plus koncertom, kada je festival pratilo i rekordnih 30 inostranih novinara. Najve\u0107i broj u\u010desnika nastupio je 2021. godine \u2013 ukupno 164 muzi\u010dara.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"images-gallery\">\n    <div class=\"wrapper-s\">\n          \n           <div class=\"images-container row center-xs\">  \n                                                              \n                    <div class=\"single-image col-lg-6 col-xs-12\">\n                        <div class=\"single-image-inner\">\n                             \n                                                \n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bjf.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/DAVE-DOUGLAS-GIFTS-TRIO-11-SM-540x330.jpg\" alt=\"DAVE DOUGLAS GIFTS TRIO\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n                             \n                                                        <p class=\"ime-fotografa\">DAVE DOUGLAS GIFTS TRIO\nJAZZ FESTIVAL\nDOM OMLADINE BEOGRADA\n28.10.2023.\nfoto Stanislav Milojkovic<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                              \n                    <div class=\"single-image col-lg-6 col-xs-12\">\n                        <div class=\"single-image-inner\">\n                             \n                                                \n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bjf.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/FABIAN-RUCKER-5-15-SM-540x330.jpg\" alt=\"FABIAN RUCKER 5\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n                             \n                                                        <p class=\"ime-fotografa\">FABIAN RUCKER 5\nJAZZ FESTIVAL\nDOM OMLADINE BEOGRADA\n27.10.2023.\nfoto Stanislav Milojkovic<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                              \n                    <div class=\"single-image col-lg-6 col-xs-12\">\n                        <div class=\"single-image-inner\">\n                             \n                                                \n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bjf.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/MAX-KOCHETOV-QUARTET-FEAT-FABRIZIO-BOSSO-11-SM-540x330.jpg\" alt=\"MAX KOCHETOV QUARTET\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n                             \n                                                        <p class=\"ime-fotografa\">MAX KOCHETOV QUARTET FEAT FABRIZIO BOSSO\nJAZZ FESTIVAL\nDOM OMLADINE BEOGRADA\n25.10.2023.\nfoto Stanislav Milojkovic<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                                                              \n                    <div class=\"single-image col-lg-6 col-xs-12\">\n                        <div class=\"single-image-inner\">\n                             \n                                                \n                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/bjf.rs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/JOHN-SCOFIELD-TRIO-14-SM-540x330.jpg\" alt=\"JOHN SCOFIELD TRIO\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n                             \n                                                        <p class=\"ime-fotografa\">JOHN SCOFIELD TRIO\nJAZZ FESTIVAL\nMTS DVORANA\n29.10.2023.\nfoto Stanislav Milojkovic<\/p>\n                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                    \n            <\/div>             \n                                         \n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n    \n\n<div class=\"beocode-classic-block purple-background padding-small\">\n\n    <div class=\"beocode-classic-block-inner wrapper-s red-background\">\n          <div class=\"content\">\n                           \n                <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the harsh period of economic recession, the Festival almost got shut down, but in 1986 it was \"saved\" by the tremendous support of the US Embassy for the comeback concert of Miles Davis in the packed hall of the Sava Center.

The goal was to gather all jazz aficionados who still remember the first Newport and new kids, too, or just music enthusiasts who haven't yet discovered that they have a soft spot for jazz. The new concept meant not only a balance between more traditional jazz styles, avant-garde and crossover with popular music of the new age but an emphasis on younger artists, as well as shifting the focus from the USA to Europe, looking at the outstanding results of artists on our continent. Recognizing the Festival's importance in creating the best cultural image of the capital, in 2007, the City of Belgrade put the Belgrade Jazz Festival in a category of events of special interest. Thanks to the European course of its new program concept, the Festival became a member by invitation of the Europe Jazz Network in 2014.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each year, a large number of foreign journalists and photographers, from the USA to Russia, from Great Britain to Italy, flock to Belgrade to report for prestigious jazz magazines and portals, including DownBeat, The New York City Jazz Record, JazzTimes, All About Jazz, Jazz Wise, Jazz Journal, London Jazz News, Concerto, Jazz Flits, Laboratorium Muzycznych Fuzji... Serbian photographer from Timi\u015foara, Dragoslav Nedi\u0107, won the award for jazz photo of the year in the vote of the Jazz Journalists Association for the shot of the American singer Jazzmeia Horn taken at the 35th Belgrade Jazz Festival.

Today, the Festival pays special attention to local artists, taking responsibility for the affirmation of Serbian jazz in the country and internationally. Starting in 2008, each year, the Festival commissions one original production to a prominent local ensemble or soloists - a performance with a premier program and possibly prestigious guests from the country or abroad. And since 2015, the Serbian Showcase has presented three ensembles of mostly younger generations with their current projects. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">showcase<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, na kome predstavljamo po tri sastava prete\u017eno mla\u0111e generacije sa aktuelnim projektima.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So far, around 560 bands or soloists have performed on the main and side programs. About a quarter of them were local, about 30% Americans, and about 45% acts were from Europe and the \"rest of the world\". The percentage representation of local teams before and after the break is similar, while the percentage of foreign acts has changed. In the first twenty years, it was about 45% American and 30% non-American artists; since 2005, it's been 20% American and over half non-American artists.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The RTS Big Band holds the record with 17 performances at the Festival, usually performing with distinguished guests from the country or abroad. Du\u0161ko Gojkovi\u0107 had a record number of individual performances as a leader of orchestras and small ensembles or as a prominent soloist. Among the foreign leaders, the record holder is Dizzy Gillespie with five appearances, and in the recent history of the event, Joe Lovano with four appearances. After the USA and Yugoslavia\/Serbia, which are well ahead, Austrian teams hold the third place, with 22 appearances at the event. The Festival lasted the longest in 2019, for eight whole days with an opening and a plus concert when a record 30 foreign journalists followed the Festival. The largest number of participants performed in 2021 - a total of 164 musicians.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-765","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Istorijat - 41.
