The Koper Student Club (KŠOK) first organised the Jazz Ethno Funky Festival (or JEFF, as it is often abbreviated) in 2003. True to its name, the festival stages a varied and international set of musicians who in one way or another touch upon the stated coordinates. It takes place on summer evenings in the old part of the city of Koper, at the courtyard of the Koper Regional Museum.


The festival is, besides the Baladoor Jazz Festival, one of the few places where contemporary jazz, folk, improvised and similarly oriented music is being regularly presented in the coastal region.

Background

In its first three years, JEFF was held at the Bar Circolo and was organised together with the Italian Community "Santorio Santorio" Koper. In 2006, the festival moved to the garden (or, in case of rain, atrium) of the Koper Regional Museum and was organised solely by the Koper Student Club, who has for the purpose of running the festival established the JEFF Institute in 2014. JEFF was usually held for 6 separate days in July and August, but this has been as of 2015 slightly shortened.

Programme

The festival has hosted a number of notable bands and artists. Some of them are Gwen Hughes (US), Kelvis Ochoa (CU), Mahnimal (BR), Otto Lechner's Die Wiener Ziehharmoniker (AT), Martin Lubenov Trio (BG), Die Resonanz (AT), Dazhbog Ensemble (SI, MK), Gramatik, Vasko Atanasovski & Mljask, Perpetuum Jazzile, New Swing Quartet, Fake Orchestra, Olivija, Terra Folk, Katalena, Sedef, Litošt, Kaja Draksler Acropolis Quartet.

Some side programme is also organised, usually in the form of music and dance workshops, photography and painting exhibitions and different culinary presentations and offers.
