It was a hard years work ...


Together with Max Dasch, the publisher of "Salzburger Nachrichten"  the idea was born to bring one of the very great stars of Jazz to Salzburg. But where to house ? 


In 1977 there was only one concert hall big enough to make a great performance payable.  The big challenge was that the Salzburg Large Festival Hall -  directed by honoric consort - never before has seen a non-classical concert.


Knowing about the obstruction against the "desecretion" of the Festival Hall, Adi found Ella Fitzgerald possibly could build the bridge between Classics and Jazz in an ideal way.  After several attempts he got her and her manager Norman Granz on his side. A little trick helped to get the OK from the concert hall consortium and the project seemed to be on track.


But was really everything straight ?
