Jazz arrived in Donetsk in 1969 … At that time Donetsk Jazz Festival was closely watched by entire Soviet Union. Unexpectedly, at the peak of its popularity, the Festival disappeared…

Long-lasting 15 years of oblivion did not manage to erase Donetsk jazz.

A group of enthusiasts, headed by the future President of the Festival Alexander Seryj, revived the legendary tradition.

Starting 2001 the Festival is being held on an annual basis.

Industrialized Donetsk is becoming a genuine national jazz capital, turning into post-soviet jazz Mecca for the time of the Festival.
«Dо#Dj» is an unforgettable feast for the music lovers. «Dо#Dj» means overcrowded concert halls!

«Dо#Dj» means performances of new revelations and stars, a jam-session and a unique in its own way International Contest of young performers «Dо#Dj junior».

The Jury of «Dо#Dj junior» (2001-2007) was permanently chaired by Professor of the Russian Gnesins' Academy of Music , one of the best jazz musicians and educators, National Artist of the Russian Federation Igor BRIL.

«Dо#Dj» is recognized by European music society. In 2004 the internet site «JAZZ.RU» estimated

«Dо#Dj» to be one of the best jazz festivals on the territory of the former Soviet Union, particularly noting its unexceptionable management.
