The San Javier Jazz festival has been held since 1998 and is an attractive and renowned event.
For this 27th edition, the festival will take place from June 27 to July 22. With a mix of North American and European artists, the program will include not only legends but also rising artists.
The director of the festival, David Martinez, highlighted this year the presence of many female performers. A fantastic lineup with
Marcus Miller, Mariza, Kenny Barron, D.K. Harrell, and Judith Hill. Will also appear Eva Slongo, Mar Vilaseca, Spanish jazz scene emerging artist, Devon Allman project and the southern US rock band Parker Barrow.
The festival always gives opportunities to young talents, with the San Javier Music Conservatory encouraging their students to participate to the local scene. With organizers providing free concerts in public spaces and discounted tickets for young audiences, it definitely encourages people to attend and enjoy the performances!
Melody Gardot, who was programmed to the festival will be replaced by Lady Blackbird, who will perform on July 15.
This 27th edition will be dedicated to the memory of John Mayall, Roberta Flack, Russell Malone, Lou Donaldson, Roy Haynes, and Jordi Bonell.

From Belgian and Italian parents, I grew up with music, dance and big fun! I love singing since I'm a little girl, I still am, haha. When I was 14, I saw my first concert: T-Rex. Later it was FrankZappa, Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Fela, Canned Heat, Little Feat, Bonnie Raitt, Earth, Wind and Fire ....
I dreamed to have a chat with each of them 😀 Before interviewing bands, I used to sing (and still do) and met lots of great musicians. I had the chance to be the support band to Joe Cocker in 2007. I love to communicate and meet people (Italian blood).
Working for magazine, a few years ago, l met José Oliveira! We were working at the same festival in Colmar. 2 people from the South with the same passion just recognized each other...and we stayed in contact since then. Here I am! Enjoying concerts, covering interviews and articles with José for Rock at Night!!
