RESIDENT: Lota-Loviisa Rohtla x Allan Kaljaste. Tribute to Stan Getz • Philly Joe's Summer Residency

The Philly Joe’s Summer Residency programme provides a platform for talented young Estonian artists on the jazz scene! New ensembles, colourful programs and the opportunity to hear jazz and music with its influences from a new perspective on every concert evening - all this is offered by selected artists, week after week throughout the summer.

In July bassist Lota-Loviisa Rohtla and saxophonist Allan Kaljaste will be sharing a residency and introducing new themes and collaborators each week. Their concerts will take place on Thursdays  (03.07, 10.07, 17.07, 24.07 and 31.07).

“Tribute to Stan Getz”

Stan Getz was one of the most elegant and melodic tenor saxophonists in jazz. His collaborations with Antonio Carlos Jobim and João Gilberto helped bring bossa nova to international prominence. The concert will feature a selection of the legend's beloved songs to celebrate his approaching 100th birthday.
