Historical Walks: The History of Jazz (Part I) | 27 Apr.2024, 13:00

On Saturday, April 27th, 2024, at 13:00 Athens time, Marilena Katsimi and the radio show “Historical Walks” on Voice of Greece will guide us through the history of Jazz, on the occasion of World Jazz Day, celebrated every year on April 30th.

Guest on the show and our guide will be Angelos Gavriil, musician, guitar teacher and author of the book “A Short History of Jazz”.

The History of Jazz will be completed in two walks. In Part I of the tribute we will learn how Jazz was born and evolved, searching for its distant roots in West Africa.


“Historical Walks” (”Ιστορικοί Περίπατοι”), ERT’s award-winning show, returns to the radio of Voice of Greece.

Marilena Katsimi and her guests take you on a tour of Greece and the world, presenting topics from both contemporary history and the historicity of current issues.

The show, with speakers who are recognized scientists, attempts through the popularization of knowledge to contribute to the promotion and demystification of difficult and often deliberately forgotten historical topics and to promote public debate.
