JAZZ RE:FRESHED, in association with Bluesound and MQA, is bringing its annual music festival, JAZZ RE:FEST, online to help support UK Jazz artists.
JAZZ RE:FEST 2020 will take place between 5-9pm BST (12-4p EDT in the U.S.) on Sunday 23rd August. The virtual showcase, held in a studio behind closed doors, will be streamed on the Jazz re:freshed YouTube channel. But more importantly to hi-fi fans, it will also be broadcast at the same time, in MQA studio-quality audio via Bluesound’s BluOS. Owners of other BluOS Enabled devices from NAD Electronics, DALI Loudspeakers, and Monitor Audio, will also be able to enjoy the exclusive MQA Hi-Res audio stream through the BluOS Controller app, which is pretty cool.
The four-hour show will feature performances from breakthrough and established acts including Binker Golding (who we featured on this site), Sahra Gure, Steam Down, Ms. Maurice, Golden Mean, Jas Kayser, and Anthony Joseph.
Musicians as a whole, have been hurt financially by the cancellation of live gigs due to coronavirus, so virtual dates have been created to help fill the gap. Check out the show and support these great artists!!
I’m an audio writer who started as a young audio salesman/consumer electronics professional back in the late 90s. That’s where I discovered the magic of 2-Channel sound. My thirst for great sound has led me on a delightful music quest that continues today.
