Discover Jazz in Catalonia

Jazz is a type of music where improvisation is a fundamental element. In this genre, musicians have the opportunity to shine individually with "solos," fragments in which they let their creativity and technical skill flow. Each performance is different and unique, making listening to live jazz a vibrant and unique experience.

In Catalonia, jazz began to gain a foothold in clubs and cafes during the Roaring Twenties (1920s), coinciding with a time of cultural change and artistic ferment. Little by little, this style gained followers and consolidated its own scene with highly talented and internationally recognized musicians.

Figures such as pianist Tete Montoliu, bassist Carles Benavent and drummer Jordi Rossy are just some of the names that have taken Catalan jazz beyond our borders.

Today, jazz is an active part of our cultural life. We can enjoy it in concert halls as well as at renowned festivals, such as the Barcelona International Jazz Festival or the Jazzaldia on the Costa Brava. This constant presence shows how this genre remains alive, renewing itself, and captivating new generations.

Jazz is popular because it's unpredictable, full of passion, and because improvisation transforms each concert into a true spectacle in which the musicians merge with the notes and emotion of the moment.

Don't miss the opportunity to experience this musical experience full of rhythm, feeling, and freedom!
