Heidi and Hans P. from the Canton of Solothurn:
„It will be ten years by now that we travel to JazzAscona regularly. This time we will stay for the second week-end of the festival. We are lovers of the traditional and true Jazz of New Orleans and, especially, the Brass Bands. Therefore the programme is exactly to our taste. We noticed that there are fewer stages than in previous years. We very much appreciate that, once more, the stage at ‘Seven’ nestled around the old port of Ascona is part of the festival.”
Manuela and Beat H. from the Canton of Aargau:
„We do know the festival from its 5th edition already, e.g. about 21 years. Since then we have been faithful guests of the festival. While we do appreciate Swing and Blues, we personally prefer the old New Orleans Jazz and Dixie style. You can see the artistic focus of the festival varying from one edition to another. Anyhow, the ambiance is just great! In our opinion, it would create even more atmosphere if starting the evening programme late afternoon, including brass bands walking and performing in the little streets of the historic Ascona.
Mirjam L. and Patric P. from Aargau:
„We do live the festival for the first time this year. By booking a short 3-days holiday in one of Ascona’s hotel including the tickets to the festival, we enjoy listen to the different concerts and we are very fascinated by the atmosphere at the lakefront. You can sit on the terrace of one of the many restaurants and just observe what is going on. It is very relaxing! In the afternoon, you even assist to the musician’s rehearsals in the main tent. So enthusiastic!
Romy and Peter F. ; Vreni and Heinz S. from Oberaargau:
„In the past we used to stay for three days at the festival. Over time we have extended our sojourn to five! We are big lovers of the festival, very excited about the choice of this year’s artists. The schedule of concerts has much improved: the beginning times have been attuned one to each other and that leaves visitors more relaxed. Moreover, it allows you to assist to almost the entire programme.”
