Jazzaldia reaches the halfway point with 17 concerts today
Today sees the first of the tributes to John Coltrane, performed by Azar Lawrence. Another of the day’s highlights will be the concert by Cecile McLorin Salvant.
Today’s programme begins in the cloister of Skoda San Telmo Museoa with Benito Gonzalez. At the FCC Victoria Eugenia, organised by JazzEñe, there will be a double bill featuring Pleito and El Gran Ra.
Norwegian musician Nils Petter Molvær will be performing a reinterpretation of his album Khmer (1993) at the Kutxabank Kursaal; an album that sparked a musical revolution by opening up new avenues of dialogue between jazz and trip-hop, drum’n’bass, ambient, techno, industrial and electronic music.
A great night at La Trini with the Azar Lawrence Quintet paying tribute to John Coltrane and the multi-talented Cécile McLorin Salvant, winner of three Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album in 2015, 2017 and 2018.
At Keler Gunea, Kokoshca’s concert (9.00 pm) will feature tracks from their new album Divino Tesoro, whilst the British artist Emma-Jean Thackray (11.30 pm), with her stage presence, will radiate energy as she connects with the audience.
