"International Boogie Nights" also scouts talented up-and-coming Boogie artists and puts them in the spotlight.
The festival of the same name, dedicated to Piano Boogie-Woogie, blues, and swing jazz, takes place in three cities: Uster, Thun, and Chur. Once again, this year will feature internationally acclaimed pianists and Boogie legends.
The man behind the International Boogie Nights.
"Boogie-woogie has almost magical power. Even a reserved audience thaws at the latest after the first chorus. Piano music can hardly be more contagious. Boogie mood is created by the unique mixture of power, swing, freshness and blues, very rhythmic, directed forward and sharply accentuated, dreamy in between - melancholic, but never kitschy or sentimental".
