Speaking at the presentation, mayor José Miguel Luengo guaranteed “another half century for the Festival” based on its success to date and stressed that “The Jazz Festival is the San Javier brand”.
Joining Diana Krall on the line-up are Calexico, a Tex-Mex band from Tucson, Arizona, who are known for their powerful sound and energetic live performances. Also confirmed to perform are the Cuban pianist Roberto Fonseca, a champion of fusion and renewal in Cuban music, and soul vocalist Steffen Morrison.
The festival's program will also feature a special production titled ‘San Javier a Paco de Lucía’, featuring flamenco guitarist Niño Josele alongside harmonica player Antonio Serrano. In addition, the festival will include a quintet led by the Catalan trumpeter and composer Joan Mar Sauqué, with jazz pianist and vocalist Champian Fulton as a guest artist.
According to Mr Martínez, the 26th edition of the festival will have a strong focus on piano and guitar, and will be dedicated to the memory of recently deceased artists such as Joao Donato, Leny Andrade, Carol Sloane, Dean Brown, David Crosby, Ahmal Jamal and Tony Bennett.
The complete program for the festival, which includes three free outdoor concerts, will be announced in April.
