Concert venue and hotel being different places at first, we combined both to one place for the first time in 2011 (CUBE Hotel), before we ended up on Mallorca in the middle of April 2012 at the 5-star Protur Biomar Gran Hotel & Spa starting with a 3-day-festival. So, we developed to a music travel organizer. The reason is very closely connected with the story of our Smooth Jazz Festival concept as it is known today: Being a pure concert organizer in the very first beginning, we had realized very soon that our festivals attract guests from all over the world. Surely, some of you already noticed, that there are some changes coming up from 2022. Thanks to a production team sticking together in tough times and the support of already booked guests - both having shown real (smooth jazz) family loyalty by going along with all festival postponements - we cannot wait for 2022 and getting back again to our Smooth Jazz Festival-routine at the Algarve as well as on Mallorca. Indeed, hard times for all artists, musicians, concert productions/promoters, hotels as well as for small two-man-music-travel companies like us. Sandra and I are very proud of this development and history, that is currently pausing since our last festival in October 2019 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and its worldwide impact on travelling and enjoying cultural events. Cosmopolitans that became (smooth jazz) family and established the art of celebrating life and simply having a good time - the experience of live music, the fun hang with the artists at nice places, the chilled drinks with fellow guests at the bar, etc. At meanwhile 23 successfully held festival editions in 5 different countries, we have presented 116 different artists on our stage, that have attracted thousands of smooth jazz fans from over 44 different countries and 6 different continents. We all love the energetic vibe and positive atmosphere that have been making our boutique-style Smooth Jazz Festivals in Europe so unique since the start in 2008. I am talking about a "producer's note" - and here it comes: So, against the background of the past one and a half years, I consider this moment to be my "historic" moment to do it for the first time.
Giants of the smooth jazz industry, such as Michael Lazaroff (The Smooth Jazz Cruise) or Art Good (Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival), have been doing it for many years. Dear Smooth Jazz-Lovers all over the world,
