The Jazz Festival in Burghausen is an institution. The festival has been organized by its enterprising club and volunteer workers every year for the past 32 years and provides an international flair in the otherwise rather peaceful town of Burghausen year after year. All stars of the scene have already performed here. There were many established artists in 2003, but many innovators and crossover artists also showed up to honor jazz. BR alpha, the educational broadcasting show of Bavarian radio, was on site and has provided recordings, which set new standards both with respect to the picture quality and the directing as well as the sound quality (real 5.1 Surround Sound!). Two songs can be heard each on this "Best of" of 2003 from the following bands: Billy Cobham Culture Mix Roman Schwaller Nonett The Music Revelation Ensemble feat. Pharoah Sanders Ray Anderson´s Pocket Brass Band Joe Gallardo´s Latino Blue Django Reinhardt Group and as a bonus: Joe Haider Trio with many guests in an "After Hours Session" All in all, perfect listening and viewing enjoyment almost 2 hours long!
