Peter Lipa<\/p><\/div>

Jazz & Blues singer<\/h2><\/div>

Peter Lipa is the most significant
personality of Slovak jazz scene.<\/h3>\n

Peter Lipa (1943) is the most important personality of the Slovak jazz scene. He created a distinctive vocal performance with an emphasis on lyrics. His music comes from a combination of jazz and blues influenced by singers like Jimmy Rushing, Ray Charles, Al Jarreau, Joe Cocker or Bobby McFerrin. He was the first singer who applied the slovak language in jazz. He converts rhythm possibilities of the lyrics into musical expression. In his repertoire we can find blues, swing and jazz standards as well as his own original compositions. Already in the 80s he ranked among the first five male European jazz singers according to Jazz Forum. In 1976 along with Milo\u0161 Pa\u0161ka he started an annual jazz festival \u2013 Bratislava Jazz Days. Since then, he also started MC-ing his own regular radio jazz program. After the velvet revolution in 1989, the Slovak Jazz Society was established. Peter Lipa is the president since the beginning. He continues to do these and other activities alongside his singing career.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

As a singer he was performing on all continents and he recorded 25 albums in slovak and english. The curiosity of his career is, that because of the communist censorship, he wasn\u2019t allowed to record an album until he was 40 years old. His most powerful experience in music was a duet with Bobby McFerrin. The maestro invited him on stage at the end of his concert in Bratislava 1986. A long time before it was usual on all of Bobby\u2019s concerts.\u00a0Slovensk\u00e1 jazzov\u00e1 spolo\u010dnos\u0165<\/em>Peter Lipa, a native of Presov, since childhood tended to music.

In the years 1975 \u2013 1976 he studied in journalism at Komensky University in Bratislava. He started to work as a musician in the early 60-ties.
