Come to the Granada Jazz Festival - You'll be in very good company



"This Jazz Festival Comes to you in style."

The Granada Jazz Festival, being one of the oldest happenings of its kind in Europe (starting in 1980), features over fifty separate concerts each November. Granada city is the only Spanish member of the European Jazz Network.

The Festival begins each year in early in November and - once started - is performance "all the way".

The conductor, pianist, composer and arranger Chucho Valdes (shown below), is reputed to be one of Cuba's greatest jazz pianists. He is also the winner of five grammy awards. Valdes closed the Festival in 2007.

Each year, there is also an exciting programme of side events throughout November, with initiatives such as Jazz at the Conservatory and Jazz in the Streets.
