Russian Jazz

The small stage in the serene Hermitage Gardens is taken over by jazz for three long summer evenings. Organisers promise some foreign stars and the best of Russian jazz. Russian jazz has a long history, mainly underground in the Soviet era but still always very popular. Various bars around the stage allow you to sit with a beer and some kebabs on the old park benches. See just across the road for the local version of Scotland Yard, Petrovka 38.
