After the jazzmen Milcho Leviev, Billy Cobham and Vicky Almazidou have raised the two-thousand-people audience in the Thessaloniki Open-air Theatre to their feet, we will be able to enjoy Milcho Leviev?s music in Plovdiv once again.  Two weeks ago an ethno-jazz festival in Thessaloniki gathered musicians from all over the world.

There also performed another Bulgarian jazz musician ? the jazz singer Vicky Almazidou. All Bulgarian jazz fens will be able to see Billy Cobham in Plovdiv in the spring of next year.
