Istanbul’s parks blossom with jazz

Jazz in the Parks continues to bring music to Istanbulites in parks. This year’s Jazz in the Parks concerts, which the festival offers free of charge to all music lovers, will be held in Beylikdüzü Valley of Life and Küçükçekmece Lakeside Amphitheatre, two of the largest green spaces in the city, as well as Şişli Habitat Park. On the 9th and 10th of July, Takeshi’s Cashew, a progressive jam band that successfully blends Anatolian funk, krautrock and Afrobeat, will invite the audience to dance. Right before Takeshi’s Cashew, music lovers will meet this year’s Young Jazz+ finalists on stage.
