JazzEñe 2014

In our opinion, jazz is one of the musical genres the Spanish do best, but Spanish jazz is often overlooked. What better way to remedy that than putting on a new Spanish jazz festival? The SGAE Foundation has organized just such an event in the name of JazzEñe, and it's on September 25-27. On each of the three days there will be two different 45-minute concerts, and you can see them for just €5 each. The programme features big names as well as the youngest jazz musicians on the current scene.

The first day's lineup features Antonio 'Mahalo' Serrano with Albert Sanz and the Marco Mezquida Trio (7pm), and Chano Domínguez and Niño Josele (aka Chano & Josele) (10pm). On the 26th you can catch Sindicato Ornette and Irene 'Charbagh' Aranda (7pm), and Jorge 'Huellas' Pardo and Guillermo McGill Cuarteto Sur (10pm). The festival closes on the third day with Antonio Lizana Group and Pepe Rivero (7pm), and ¡ZAS! Trío Marcelo Peralta, Baldo Martínez, Carlos 'Sir Charles' González and Pablo M. Caminero (10pm).
