Some things never change - holiday celebrations among them. And so, too, the Festive Jam Session which has now become an indispensable part of the programme at the Palace of Arts, will take place as just one of many events in the capital to mark the 20 August holiday. This year, as in every year since 2005, the Palace of Arts puts on a series of free jazz concerts inside and outside the building until sunset, followed - both before and after the holiday fireworks display- by the traditional show... of the Police Big Band, guaranteed to have the crowd up on their feet and dancing. In his capacity as host of the event, band leader, trumpeter and trombonist Béla Szalóky welcomes fans of traditional jazz both old and new from 5 pm.
