At a very special edition of the San Sebastian Jazz Festival, three Donostiako Jazzaldia awards will be presented to three of the most extraordinary Spanish Jazz musicians.
The pertinence and timeliness of these awards is undeniable, given that Pardo, Salvador and Domínguez have developed brilliant musical careers and figure among the continent’s most notable Jazz musicians.
These awards recognise the excellence of a musical career in the field of Jazz and have been received by musicians such as Keith Jarrett, John Zorn, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Hank Jones, Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Clark Terry, Bebo Valdés and Wayne Shorter, among others.
