2024 marks the year I attended the 33rd Boscov’s Berks Jazz Festival again after a 5 year hiatus due to the pandemic and its restrictions. Since everything was back to normal, I wanted to come back, meet friends and artists, and – most of all – immerse myself into some great live music in a setting that is totally unique at this festival. This year is the last one with festival manager John Ernesto at the helm, he will be replaced by a team of people splitting the various jobs John covered over more than 30 years.

After a hiatus due to the Corona pandemic, I happily attended the 2023 Algarve Smooth Jazz Festival held at the beautiful Pine Cliffs Hotel, a five star resort.

Welcome to “Smooth Jazz Vibes”, a site dedicated to a musical genre called “smooth jazz”. The site was founded in 1996 and must be among the oldest sites dedicated to this kind of music. At the moment, the site is a bit dormant, but it is still there, waiting to be re-ignited. Since I left all social media, the only way to reach me is by e-mail at pboehi@boehi.ch My main project currently is my webradio called SwissGroove which not only plays smooth jazz, but also a wide variety of music styles ranging from straight ahead jazz to funk and latin. It adresses the discriminating listener who is c ..read more
