Sorry for not updating the tumblr, but college is draining all my time, i have to study all day if i want to have a job after i graduate.

But here is a intro about the 12 Points (European) Festival in my country, Portugal. The video is in portuguese but you can listen some of the music that was played in the festival.

I didn’t knew the group called “Girls in Airport”, but after the show i became a fan. They are quite amazing for some young danish kids. I became a fan of them! I will post some of their music. 

I suggest that you don’t miss any Jazz festival in your city, it’s always a great opportunity to find new music and to enrich your knowledge of Jazz.
