JAZZ OBERT

JAZZ OBERT ASSOCIACIÓ D’AL.LIGÀTORS, is a non-profit Association in Menorca Island (Balearic Islands, Spain). In 1998 a group of underground followers and lovers of Jazz Music decided to create an association to promote that kind of music in order to diversify the local musical scene.

Thanks to our supporters, Jazz Obert has up to now organized an International Jazz Festival with more than twenty editions, usually in Spring time. Over these years we have invited, among many others, musicians such as: Al Di Meola, Al Foster, Avishai Cohen, Branford Marsalis, Danilo Pérez, Dave Holland, Elvin Jones, Freddie Hubbard, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Jacky Terrasson, John Scofield, Johnny Griffin, Joe Lovano, Joshua Redman, Kenny Barron, Kyle Eastwood, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Marc Turner, Miroslav Vitous, Paul Motian, Rosario Bonnacorso, Roy Hargrove, Sonny Fortune, Stefano di Batista, Steve Wilson, Terence Blanchard, not to forget outstanding musicians of our country: Pedro Iturralde, Chano Domínguez, Marco Mezquida, Jorge Pardo, Shai Maestro.
