FESTIVAL DE JAZZ FIGUERES

The Festival de Jazz de Figueres this year celebrates its 18th birthday and promises to maintain its young and dynamic spirit. The festival’s 18th edition, which offers a total of nine concerts and one documentary, is again going to include Bufajazz, that is, live jam sessions and concerts in several bars of Figueres. As usual, the festival counts with renowned national and international artists, where this year we could highlight the Canadians Grant Stewart, the great saxophonist who elated us on previous editions of the festival, and Sheila Cooper, one of the most interesting emerging talents of the contemporary jazz scene.
Three are the locations where the festival is going to take place: El Molí de l’Anguila, whose intimate atmosphere is perfect for the festival’s concerts; the Cercle Sport, where Javier Juanco and Lluís Escuadra are going to interpret live jazz to accompany film scenes with their original music. Finally, in Catcinemes is going to be shown the documentary “Let’s Get Lost”, acquainting us with the fascinating world of Chet Baker.
The festival starts on 26th March and ends on 30th April. For information about the locations, tickets and the artists go to
