XXVI Edition of the Malaga International Jazz Festival

From the 6th to 10th of November Malaga will celebrate its XXVI International Jazz Festival, which this year will include four local bands.The event will be hosted at the Cervantes Theatre and the aim is that the artists use different instruments to be able to perform in very different styles, ranging from jazz-rock to free-jazz.

Every day there will be a double session, except on the opening night of the event, on November 6th. At the opening, the event will count with the presence of one of the most important figures in contemporary jazz, Kenny Garrett, a Grammy Award-winning saxophonist who can boast of having been part for five years of Miles Davis's band. The artist will present his album "Seeds from the underground".

The Festival will continue on Wednesday 7th, with a touch of free-jazz with Latin soul brought by Omar Sosa and Paolo Fresu. On Thursday 8th, Bill Evans´ “Soulgrass Band” will perform jazz-rock with touches of funk, continues on Friday 9th with the beautiful voice of China Moses, the daughter of Dee Dee Bridgewater and concludes on Saturday 10th with the artist Gino Paoli.

During this festival, there will be a space for Malaga jazz with evening performances of local bands like Jazztease 5 on the 7th of November, a band that not only offer a great “swing”, but also promises plenty of fun before and during the concert with actors and musicians performing through the stalls, the Susan Valery Quintet on the 8th, La Insostenible Big Band playing on the 9th and the band Javier Denís´Andalusí Trío performing on the 10th.

The ticket prices for this jazz concert range between 9 € and 24 € for the concert of Kenny Garrett, 20 € for the rest of the international artists and 10 € for local groups. The prices are quite affordable for all who wish to enjoy one or more of its sessions.
