46th Voll-Damm Festival Internacional de Jazz de Barcelona

One of Europe’s most well-respected jazz festivals has grown to embrace everything from bebop to gospel, around a core of mainstream performers that have included some great names in the genre such as Chick Corea, Wayne Shorter, Bebo Valdés, Al Green, Herbie Hancock, Caetano Veloso and even Katie Melua. Venues range from the Palau de la Música, Luz de Gas and Razzmatazz to L’Auditori. This is a living festival for a living city; organised and designed for those who live in Barcelona and a testimony of the city’s love affair with the genre (it’s surely no coincidence that Woody Allen likes to spend so much time staying, and sometimes even playing, here).
