today in Aram Khachatryan concert hall. For the first time Armenian
jazz fans have an opportunity to see honorable artist of Russian
Federation Georgi Garanyan, honorable artist of Armenia Levon
Malkhasyan and international jazz-festivals’ medalist Alexander
Zakaryan.

In a meeting with the journalists Levon Malkhasyan said that there
is no jazz vocal in Armenia though jazz was born in 60th in Armenia.

"The same is in Moscow," said Georgi Garanyan and explained that the
only reason to that is the absence of jazz school.

that irrespective of other types of music jazz, classical music are
never so popular and are never a part of publicity.
