La Garriga Jazz Festival

Friends of Jazz de la Garriga celebrate a new edition of the La Garriga Jazz Festival, with a remarkable program.

The festival will start on May 18 with various free performances in the Plaza del Silenci, highlighting the performance of David Soler and Marcel Bagés, the Combo of the Garriga music classroom with the Big band of the Ametlla del Vallès municipal school and Garreggae.

The next day at the same time, Darius Jones will perform at the Teatro de la Garriga, the Patronato. Darius Jones has created a personal voice as a saxophonist and composer, has been highly appreciated by critics, embracing the innovation and tradition of black music. He is accompanied by two leading figures of New York improvisation, Gerald Cleaver and Chris Lightcap.

On May 24 there will be a tribute to Marianne Brull, within the Best Festivals with Joni Sigil and Vasco Trilla at the Strogoff Bookstore. Later, in Plaza del Silenci there will be a free performance of "Ritas", a contemporary music project that focuses on reggae and stands out for its innovation in fusing it with styles such as jazz, funk and African rhythms.

Joana Casanova and Falcón Trujillo will perform the last concerts that will put an end to the Garriga Jazz Festival.
