Granada International Jazz Festival

First launched in 1980, the Granada Jazz Festival has welcomed some of the biggest names in jazz, from Spain and around the world. Over the years, its stages have featured legendary artists including Miles Davis, Oscar Peterson, Charlie Haden, Art Blakey, Tete Montoliu, Dizzy Gillespie, Eliane Elias, Wayne Shorter, GoGo Penguin, Diana Krall, Herbie Hancock, Bebo and Chucho Valdés, Andrea Motis and many others.

The Teatro Isabel la Católica, one of Andalusia’s most distinctive historic theatres, hosts the festival’s main programme. But the music doesn’t stop there: more than 70 additional concerts take place in bars and clubs across Granada and the surrounding area.

Every November, jazz becomes part of Granada’s autumn atmosphere, bringing together performers and audiences from around the world.
