We are getting together for the anniversary of Loft Jazz Culture Gazette, which started its publishing journey last year, on December 21st!

We’re celebrating the first birthday of Loft Jazz, keeping on their insistence on print format, with the performances of Afroloji and Deli Bakkal. İlksen Mavituna will be warming up this afro-beat, jazz and funk centered celebration with his DJ set. We will also be celebrating Loft Jazz’s new issue during the longest night of the year. Loft Jazz invites everyone to this party, which will be the first of many more events to come for the new season.
