The jazz musician mentions that he has waited a long time for the meeting with the Armenian audience and is impressed with Yerevan.

According to Cobham, jazz fans are different everywhere, but they are people with high mental abilities ․

“Jazz is a way of thinking. Jazz and jazz lovers have like different languages. For example, the famous jazz song "My Funny Valentine" has different performances.  In Armenia it is presented in one way, in Japan in another way,” he said.

By the way, the festival started this year with a concert "Ararat Jazz Night", the main guest of which was GRAMMY laureate, world-famous bass guitarist Richard Bona with the film "Round midnight" with jazz motifs and music by Herbie Hancock.
