Having become an established tradition of Kaş Marina, August 23-24-25 were chosen for Kaş Jazz Festival to mesmerize us this year. Organized for the 6th time with the theme "Good Mood Good Music", the festival featured Türkiye's and the world's leading jazz artists, who not only admired the nature of Kaş, but also charmed music lovers of all ages.

The melodies of Hey Douglas!, Kalben, Deniz Mahir Kartal, Birsen Tezer, No Land and Fatih Erkoç Quartet Jazz Project took the stage from the morning hours when the Mediterranean sun started warming us up until the stars brought the chill of the night.

Just like last year, DJ Barthez from Joy Fm launched the three-day concerts this year as well. Combining psychedelic, funk and soul songs of the 70s, Hey! Douglas and Kalben, who took our country by storm with her attitude as well as her soulful voice, delivered unforgettable moments to music lovers on the first day of the festival. DJ Barthez's special sets graced the sunset every evening.

Working on a wide range of projects dedicated to different genres of music from traditional to classical, jazz to modern and electro, multi-instrumentalist Deniz Mahir Kartal and Birsen Tezer, one of the most valuable vocals of jazz music, took the stage on the second day, and made it difficult not to be mesmerized by the music.

Istanbul-based band No Land and Fatih Erkoç took the stage on the last day. Jazz lovers experienced moments full of emotion with Fatih Erkoç's magnificent voice and powerful singing.

There was a consensus among the audience: The festival ended too soon again; we could not get enough of it.
