Nonostante i tempi complessi il Festival mantiene l’alto livello qualitativo che lo contraddistingue ospitando artisti internazionali ai quali si affiancano artisti e maestranze del panorama italiano della musica dal vivo, con l’intento di continuare l’azione di sostegno che la Città ha intrapreso sin dalla scorsa edizione. Ulteriore spazio è offerto dal TJF all’aspetto formativo e ai giovani musicisti che studiano il jazz e ne praticano le forme espressive; sfogliando il programma si possono, infatti, apprezzare conferenze tematiche di alto livello e concerti che vedono gli studenti esibirsi sui palchi più prestigiosi della rassegna. Il necessario rispetto delle misure di sicurezza e le difficoltà logistiche rendono questa edizione speciale: è evidente lo sforzo ideativo e organizzativo messo in campo per poter proporre il palinsesto ora sotto i nostri occhi. Un sentito ringraziamento va dunque a chi realizza materialmente il festival: i jazzisti sui palchi, i tecnici e la direzione artistica affidata a Diego Borotti e Giorgio Li Calzi. Questi mesi dominati dal Covid-19 hanno svelato quante siano le professionalità coinvolte nel mondo dell’arte e quale prezioso lavoro svolgano “dietro le quinte”.
