7th Festival Jazz en Tech Transfrontalier

The Cross-Border Jazz Festival along the Rivers Tech (P-O), Ter & Muga (Catalonia)

Although this festival is now well-established and into its 7th year, 2022 is the first time organisers are hosting the event in the P-O.

The festival is a fascinating way to (re(d)iscover “The Wonderful World” of contemporary jazz music as well as the stunning Canigou country, along the border from coast to mountain !

From Friday 22nd July to Tuesday 9th August, enjoy 16 concerts in 10 different venues by over 65 crème de la crème jazz musicians from Europe and the USA.

With performances of this year’s award-winning European releases as well as premières of ‘Made in Jazzentech’ original creations, the programme is bursting with talent.

You can also enjoy classical greats, with tributes to some of jazz’s greatest legends:

• Miles Davis “So Miles”
• Louis Armstrong “Satchmo”
• Benny Goodman “The King of Swing”
• Bill Evans “The Magician”
• Nat King Cole’s “American Songbook”
• The “Big Fabs” Blue Note Era
