Jaialdiak Jazz 2024

The Bad Plus performed one of the last concerts of their farewell tour at the Vitoria-Gasteiz Jazz Festival. The American band finishes its career of 26 years, 16 albums and thousands of performances and starred in one of the most emotional dates of the last day of the 49th edition of the festival. Giant and Anthem for the Earnest thrilled the audience of Mendizorroza.

The veteran American band satisfied the audience last night at the Vitoria jazz festival in Mendizorroza. 

Gretchen Parlato and sextet voice Take 6 complete the poster of the first night of the Mendizorroza concerts of the Vitoria Jazz Festival. Jazz will be played in the Alavesa capital until Saturday. 

The quartet of the American saxophonist has starred in the last night of the Getxo festival, accompanied by the French band Lurium, winner of the 49th Getxo International Jazz Festival Group Competition.

Camille Thurman & The Darrell Green Quartet performed on the second night of the Getxo jazz festival in Muxikebarri. Thurman, the first woman in the prestigious Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, has been accompanied by the quartet of the famous post-bop drummer Darrell Green: Gregory Glassman (trumpet), Paul Beaundry (bass) and David Bryant (piano).

The Madrid musician presented his "Dedication II" project last night with Muxikebarri, Javier Vercher (tenor saxo), Toño Miguel (double bass), Naima Acuña (drums) and Cristina Mocha (voice as guest artist).

This Wednesday, the 49th edition of Getxo Jazz and, in Ordizia, the Goierri Jazz Festival will begin.

Panamanian musician Ruben Blades will be the star of the 49th edition of the Musical Meeting, which will take place on July 17 in Mendizorroza.

It has been the last edition of Miguel Martín as director, but he will continue to work "at the service" of the San Sebastian festival. Martin highlights that in 17 paid concerts the stands have been filled, and in the rest they have been almost full. The 52 free concerts have brought together 158,700 people, while the paid ones have been 20,480.

The beach of La Zurriola has once again been the perfect setting to welcome the famous British artist Jamie Cullum. Cullum returns to San Sebastian for the fifth time with a new repertoire that mixes jazz, pop and swing styles.

For the first time at the San Sebastian Jazz Festival, they have played popular songs from different eras of the group, songs that became the hymns of different generations . Songs that reflect the love of youth, the culture of surfing  and above all optimism .

The British singer has become almost a regular of the Jazz Festival, and this is her fifth time. This will not be the only concert Jamie Cullum will offer, as he will offer a free concert on the beach of La Zurriola which, in his words, will be "a party."

A summary of what will be news today, in two words.
