Tallinn '67 Jazz Festival: Myths and Memories explores the
legendary 1967 jazz gathering that centered Tallinn, Estonia as the
jazz capital of the USSR and marked both the pinnacle of a Soviet
jazz awakening as well as the end of a long series of evolutionary
jazz festivals in Estonia. This study offers new insights into what
was the largest Soviet jazz festival of its time through an
abundance of collected materials - including thousands of pages of
archival documents, more than a hundred hours of interviews and
countless media reviews and photographs - while grappling with the
constellation of myths integral to jazz discourse in an attempt to
illuminate 'how it really was'. Accounts from musicians, jazz fans,
organisers and listeners bring renewed life to this transcultural
event from more than half a century ago, framed by scholarly
discussions contextualizing the festival within the closed
conditions of the Cold War. Tallinn '67 Jazz Festival details the
lasting international importance of this confluence of Estonian,
Soviet and American jazz and the ripple effects it spread
throughout the world.
