Cécile McLorin Salvant, who will also be here in San Sebastián, recently won the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album
The tickets will go on sale at the end of February
The 53 Heineken Jazzaldia, to take place from 25th-29th July 2018, adds six names of extraordinary calibre to the first list announced a month ago: Chick Corea, Brad Mehldau, Caetano Veloso, Kenny Barron, Benny Green and Maceo Parker with the Ray Charles Orchestra and The Raelettes.
Chick Corea will come as part of an acoustic trio with John Patitucci and Dave Weckl, the musicians to enjoy the greatest mutual understanding in recent times with the brilliant North American pianist, one of the most popular and crucial figures of jazz. Kenny Barron will demonstrate with his current quintet the excellent form achieved in his artistic maturity.
Barron was presented with the Donostiako Jazzaldia Award in 2000. Chick Corea, for his part, received the same accolade in 1998.
Completing the list of unrepeatable pianists, the programme is joined by Brad Mehldau, especially appreciated by the Heineken Jazzaldia audience, who will be accompanied by his customary trio.
Caetano Veloso is one of Brazil’s best loved musicians, a prolific composer and singer of unprecedented elegance. For his performance in Donostia he will present his latest project, in which he will be accompanied by his three sons: Moreno, Tom and Zeca.
The legacy of Ray Charles, recreated by his orchestra and with the high-powered sax player Maceo Parker as its master of ceremonies. This is definitely a show not to be missed.
Benny Green is another pianist at the height of his career. His performance in trio format will enable to see for ourselves the fine quality of his current artistic proposal.
Performances previously announced at the coming Heineken Jazzaldia are Gregory Porter, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Carla Bley, Dave Holland, Michel Portal, Zakir Hussain, Jacob Collier, Bruce Barth, Julian Lage, Endangered Blood, Tom Ibarra, Iñaki Salvador, Marco Mezquida and GoGo Penguin.
Cécile McLorin Salvant won the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album with her Dreams & Daggers, lending even more excitement to the already-existing expectation surrounding her performance at the coming Heineken Jazzaldia.
The saxophonist Chris Potter, who will also perform in San Sebastián as part of the Dave Holland trio, received a Best Jazz Instrumental Album nomination for The Dreamer is the Dream.
Tickets will go on sale at the end of February, by which time the full programme will be available. A number of highly renowned musicians are still expected to join the line-up.

The other names on the bill will be announced in January and tickets will go on sale in February
It seems like only yesterday we closed the doors of an exceptionally magnificent 52nd Heineken Jazzaldia, and yet here we are already announcing our first names for the 53rd edition, to run from 25th to 29th July 2018.
Let’s start with the voices: last year’s huge sensation, Gregory Porter, who’ll bring his new project with the songs of Nat “King” Cole accompanied by a symphony orchestra; and two major new features: one, the singer in greatest shape on today’s scene, young, different, inventive, classy, Cécile McLorin Salvant; and the other, Jacob Collier, surprising, multi-instrumentalist and astonishing vocalist.
Europe will enjoy a multiple, varied and interesting representation: Michel Portal, the front-runner of Basque jazz musicians; the new stars of French jazz, Émile Parisien, saxophonist, Vincent Peirani, accordionist, Médéric Collignon, trumpetist and, above all, the guitar player Tom Ibarra, aged only 19 and winner of this year’s Rising Star contest; not to forget Britain’s GoGo Penguin and their new jazz trio concept.
Two of the pianists dearest to us will also perform at the Heineken Jazzaldia, Iñaki Salvador, with a homage to Mikel Laboa on the 10th anniversary of his death, and Marco Mezquida from the Balearic Islands, with his fascinating recreation of Maurice Ravel’s repertoire.
Two extraordinary Lebanese musicians will bring us their new projects. On the one hand, Rabih Abou Khalil, who plays the oud and has an extensive and marvellous production with some of the most outstanding contemporary jazz musicians. On the other, the flute player settled in France, Naïssam Jalal, with her proposal of unique beauty and strength, as oriental as it is jazz-flavoured.
Unique concerts will also come from two immensely attractive trios: one, the pianist Carla Bley, with her inseparable Steve Swallow and British sax player Andy Sheppard; the other, bringing a lineup of three monsters: Dave Holland, on the bass, Chris Potter, on the sax, and, on the percussion, master Zakir Hussain.
But that’s not all. Other top-notch artists will include the pianist Bruce Barth, with a jazz homage to the music of the Grateful Dead; California’s new guitar “wizard”, Julian Lage; a cult saxophonist: Dick Oatts, in a quartet with the Basque Víctor de Diego; and the group Endangered Blood, with members Chris Cheek, Oscar Noriega, Jim Black and Trevor Dunn.
Other impressive names to make up the bill of the 53rd Heineken Jazzaldia will be announced in January 2018.
Tickets will go on sale in February 2018.

Tom Ibarra, a 18-year-old French guitarist and composer, has beaten tough competition to become the RISING STARS Jazz Award winner. With a distinctive voice in Jazz, Funk and Fusion, Tom competed against over 270 artists from over Europe for the title.
Entries were judged by a panel including US record producer Brian Bacchus; England´s jazz superstar Jamie Cullum; and French festival and radio producer Sebastien Vidal.
As winner of this year’s RISING STARS Jazz Award, Tom will embark on a 2018 tour of seven of the major jazz festivals in Europe. These include the Nice Jazz Festival in France; JazzOpen in Stuttgart, Germany; Heineken Jazzaldia in San Sebastian, Spain; the Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway; the Cheltenham Jazz Festival in the UK; the North Sea Jazz Festival in The Netherlands; and the Leopolis Jazz Festival in Lvov, Ukraine. In addition, he will receive PR and marketing support.
Commenting on the award, Jamie Cullum said: “It is encouraging to see that there are so many unbelievably talented musicians out there. Tom is only 18 years of age, but plays with the feel of a veteran and has a tool kit of musical abilities that allows him to step up at any given moment to put his stamp on the music”.
Born in October 1999, Tom began playing guitar at the age of 6 and was influenced by artists including Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, Weather Report and Wes Montgomery. He released his debut album 15 in 2015, 4 years after starting to compose original songs. Over the years, Tom’s talent has been recognized by jazz greats including Marcus Miller, Richard Bona, Didier Lockwood and Sylvain Luc, who have all invited him to share the stage with them on various occasions.

The total number of spectators were around 156,500, including the 17,000 accounted for in the areas of controlled access and the estimated 139,500 of the open stages.

A series of new safety measures will apply to the Plaza de la Trinidad throughout the 52nd Heineken Jazzaldia, bringing it into line with the stipulations of the recently-announced Basque Government Gaming and Entertainment Law.
The legal capacity of the Plaza de la Trinidad is now 1,780 spectators.
Seats cannot be reserved in the area above the Bolatoki (traditional bowling alley) due to safety reasons and limits on the capacity allowed in this area (a maximum of 214 people).
Security staff will be doubled and more emergency exits will be available.
The aisles between the chairs will be wider, there will be fewer bars and more portable toilets.
All of these steps are being taken not only to meet the stipulations of the law, but also to guarantee the safety and comfort of the audience.

[post_content] => The total number of spectators was in the region of 175,000 and the atmosphere reigning throughout the city was magnificent
The 51st Heineken Jazzaldia surpassed all expectations as regards both audience numbers and artistic excellence. The total number of spectators was in the region of 175,000, of whom 19,075 flocked to the ticketed concerts while the remainder enjoyed the numerous free performances.
Several of the concerts held in the Plaza de la Trinidad, the Kursaal Auditorium, the San Telmo Museum and the Victoria Eugenia Theatre had to hang up their “sold out” signs. The atmosphere in San Sebastian, packed with visitors, was one of overall satisfaction with the extensive Festival programme.
The number of stages was increased to 20, for the first time using one of the city’s most charming spots, the Plaza de la Constitución. The number of performances came to 132, of which 84 were free of charge. Furthermore, numerous establishments throughout the city programmed jazz performances on their terraces, all helping to guarantee that jazz could be heard any time, any place.

The other names on the bill will be announced in January and tickets will go on sale in February
It seems like only yesterday we closed the doors of an exceptionally magnificent 52nd Heineken Jazzaldia, and yet here we are already announcing our first names for the 53rd edition, to run from 25th to 29th July 2018.
Let’s start with the voices: last year’s huge sensation, Gregory Porter, who’ll bring his new project with the songs of Nat “King” Cole accompanied by a symphony orchestra; and two major new features: one, the singer in greatest shape on today’s scene, young, different, inventive, classy, Cécile McLorin Salvant; and the other, Jacob Collier, surprising, multi-instrumentalist and astonishing vocalist.
Europe will enjoy a multiple, varied and interesting representation: Michel Portal, the front-runner of Basque jazz musicians; the new stars of French jazz, Émile Parisien, saxophonist, Vincent Peirani, accordionist, Médéric Collignon, trumpetist and, above all, the guitar player Tom Ibarra, aged only 19 and winner of this year’s Rising Star contest; not to forget Britain’s GoGo Penguin and their new jazz trio concept.
Two of the pianists dearest to us will also perform at the Heineken Jazzaldia, Iñaki Salvador, with a homage to Mikel Laboa on the 10th anniversary of his death, and Marco Mezquida from the Balearic Islands, with his fascinating recreation of Maurice Ravel’s repertoire.
Two extraordinary Lebanese musicians will bring us their new projects. On the one hand, Rabih Abou Khalil, who plays the oud and has an extensive and marvellous production with some of the most outstanding contemporary jazz musicians. On the other, the flute player settled in France, Naïssam Jalal, with her proposal of unique beauty and strength, as oriental as it is jazz-flavoured.
Unique concerts will also come from two immensely attractive trios: one, the pianist Carla Bley, with her inseparable Steve Swallow and British sax player Andy Sheppard; the other, bringing a lineup of three monsters: Dave Holland, on the bass, Chris Potter, on the sax, and, on the percussion, master Zakir Hussain.
But that’s not all. Other top-notch artists will include the pianist Bruce Barth, with a jazz homage to the music of the Grateful Dead; California’s new guitar “wizard”, Julian Lage; a cult saxophonist: Dick Oatts, in a quartet with the Basque Víctor de Diego; and the group Endangered Blood, with members Chris Cheek, Oscar Noriega, Jim Black and Trevor Dunn.
Other impressive names to make up the bill of the 53rd Heineken Jazzaldia will be announced in January 2018.
Tickets will go on sale in February 2018.

Tom Ibarra, a 18-year-old French guitarist and composer, has beaten tough competition to become the RISING STARS Jazz Award winner. With a distinctive voice in Jazz, Funk and Fusion, Tom competed against over 270 artists from over Europe for the title.
Entries were judged by a panel including US record producer Brian Bacchus; England´s jazz superstar Jamie Cullum; and French festival and radio producer Sebastien Vidal.
As winner of this year’s RISING STARS Jazz Award, Tom will embark on a 2018 tour of seven of the major jazz festivals in Europe. These include the Nice Jazz Festival in France; JazzOpen in Stuttgart, Germany; Heineken Jazzaldia in San Sebastian, Spain; the Kongsberg Jazz Festival in Norway; the Cheltenham Jazz Festival in the UK; the North Sea Jazz Festival in The Netherlands; and the Leopolis Jazz Festival in Lvov, Ukraine. In addition, he will receive PR and marketing support.
Commenting on the award, Jamie Cullum said: “It is encouraging to see that there are so many unbelievably talented musicians out there. Tom is only 18 years of age, but plays with the feel of a veteran and has a tool kit of musical abilities that allows him to step up at any given moment to put his stamp on the music”.
Born in October 1999, Tom began playing guitar at the age of 6 and was influenced by artists including Miles Davis, Pat Metheny, Weather Report and Wes Montgomery. He released his debut album 15 in 2015, 4 years after starting to compose original songs. Over the years, Tom’s talent has been recognized by jazz greats including Marcus Miller, Richard Bona, Didier Lockwood and Sylvain Luc, who have all invited him to share the stage with them on various occasions.

The total number of spectators were around 156,500, including the 17,000 accounted for in the areas of controlled access and the estimated 139,500 of the open stages.

A series of new safety measures will apply to the Plaza de la Trinidad throughout the 52nd Heineken Jazzaldia, bringing it into line with the stipulations of the recently-announced Basque Government Gaming and Entertainment Law.
The legal capacity of the Plaza de la Trinidad is now 1,780 spectators.
Seats cannot be reserved in the area above the Bolatoki (traditional bowling alley) due to safety reasons and limits on the capacity allowed in this area (a maximum of 214 people).
Security staff will be doubled and more emergency exits will be available.
The aisles between the chairs will be wider, there will be fewer bars and more portable toilets.
All of these steps are being taken not only to meet the stipulations of the law, but also to guarantee the safety and comfort of the audience.

[post_content] => The total number of spectators was in the region of 175,000 and the atmosphere reigning throughout the city was magnificent
The 51st Heineken Jazzaldia surpassed all expectations as regards both audience numbers and artistic excellence. The total number of spectators was in the region of 175,000, of whom 19,075 flocked to the ticketed concerts while the remainder enjoyed the numerous free performances.
Several of the concerts held in the Plaza de la Trinidad, the Kursaal Auditorium, the San Telmo Museum and the Victoria Eugenia Theatre had to hang up their “sold out” signs. The atmosphere in San Sebastian, packed with visitors, was one of overall satisfaction with the extensive Festival programme.
The number of stages was increased to 20, for the first time using one of the city’s most charming spots, the Plaza de la Constitución. The number of performances came to 132, of which 84 were free of charge. Furthermore, numerous establishments throughout the city programmed jazz performances on their terraces, all helping to guarantee that jazz could be heard any time, any place.

Cécile McLorin Salvant, who will also be here in San Sebastián, recently won the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album
The tickets will go on sale at the end of February
The 53 Heineken Jazzaldia, to take place from 25th-29th July 2018, adds six names of extraordinary calibre to the first list announced a month ago: Chick Corea, Brad Mehldau, Caetano Veloso, Kenny Barron, Benny Green and Maceo Parker with the Ray Charles Orchestra and The Raelettes.
Chick Corea will come as part of an acoustic trio with John Patitucci and Dave Weckl, the musicians to enjoy the greatest mutual understanding in recent times with the brilliant North American pianist, one of the most popular and crucial figures of jazz. Kenny Barron will demonstrate with his current quintet the excellent form achieved in his artistic maturity.
Barron was presented with the Donostiako Jazzaldia Award in 2000. Chick Corea, for his part, received the same accolade in 1998.
Completing the list of unrepeatable pianists, the programme is joined by Brad Mehldau, especially appreciated by the Heineken Jazzaldia audience, who will be accompanied by his customary trio.
Caetano Veloso is one of Brazil’s best loved musicians, a prolific composer and singer of unprecedented elegance. For his performance in Donostia he will present his latest project, in which he will be accompanied by his three sons: Moreno, Tom and Zeca.
The legacy of Ray Charles, recreated by his orchestra and with the high-powered sax player Maceo Parker as its master of ceremonies. This is definitely a show not to be missed.
Benny Green is another pianist at the height of his career. His performance in trio format will enable to see for ourselves the fine quality of his current artistic proposal.
Performances previously announced at the coming Heineken Jazzaldia are Gregory Porter, Cécile McLorin Salvant, Carla Bley, Dave Holland, Michel Portal, Zakir Hussain, Jacob Collier, Bruce Barth, Julian Lage, Endangered Blood, Tom Ibarra, Iñaki Salvador, Marco Mezquida and GoGo Penguin.
Cécile McLorin Salvant won the Grammy for Best Jazz Vocal Album with her Dreams & Daggers, lending even more excitement to the already-existing expectation surrounding her performance at the coming Heineken Jazzaldia.
The saxophonist Chris Potter, who will also perform in San Sebastián as part of the Dave Holland trio, received a Best Jazz Instrumental Album nomination for The Dreamer is the Dream.
Tickets will go on sale at the end of February, by which time the full programme will be available. A number of highly renowned musicians are still expected to join the line-up.
