| Festival Description | The Festival de Jazz de Vitoria-Gasteiz began in 1977 as one of the most important musical events in Spain. In fact, the Festival is the only Spanish Festival that is a member of the International Jazz Festival Organization which unites the most important European Jazz Festivals together with some of the most prestigious in North America as Montreal and Vancouver in Canada and Monterey and Ravinia in United States. The combination of big star performances at Mendizorroza Sports Arena and the concerts of young and almost unknown musicians at the Principal Theatre, makes an attractive musical offering not only for the audience wishing to attend a specific event but those most interested in jazz. After the main hall concerts, some clubs present jam sessions until the early hours which, in the past, have included great stars like Wynton Marsalis or Marcus Miller. |
