Discover top figures from the domestic and international jazz universe in unpublished and exclusive productions in Catalunya. The festival includes a long list of side activities such as exhibitions, documentaries, children’s workshops, master classes, jam sessions and dance swing meetings.

Emerging figures from the New York scene will be in Terrassa for the first time, certifying why they are considered among the most amazing jazzmen of the moment. Young saxophonist and songwriter Immanuel Wilkins premieres his recent and acclaimed album The 7th Hand, full of empathy and conviction, intertwining melody and epic. And in turn, the versatile and lauded Emmet Cohen will show off a fresh, commanding piano in the art of the trio.

Double bass star Christian McBride will unfold his powerful rhythmic strut with the formidable band Inside Straight, in a repertoire of originals and classics by Duke Ellington and Freddie Hubbard. One of the most anticipated concerts of an artistic program of the highest category to which are added three impact guitarists in one of the unprecedented evenings at the New Jazz Cava: the Swedish Ulf Wakenius, the African-American Mark Whitfield and the French musician Christian Escoudé, who lead the Guitar Conference project.

Vocal jazz cannot be overlooked; the elegant and experienced Judy Niemack is the international representative in a special production of the FJT that brings together different generations of artists. Detroit piano master Kirk Lightsey and a revelation, like Dutch saxophonist Gideon Tazelaar.

Yet another golden voice, Carme Canela, revisits a masterpiece of Brazilian music on her new album Celebrating La Fusa, conceived by Bahia guitarist Jurandir Santana. A double session that is completed with the presentation of Migra, the new quintet project by the Portuguese singer Marta Garrett and the saxophonist Irene Reig, a new step forward in the meteoric trajectory of these two creators.
