TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE ONLINE HERE for both season tickets and individual concerts.

The final double bill at the 2024 San Javier Jazz Festival begins with a performance by José Luis Jaén, a vastly experienced musician who absorbs the best of the musical genres that he considers his roots: mainly flamenco and copla, and also tango, boleros and Cuban. The Almería singer has been adding a growing passion for jazz in recent years and with his moving voice, one of those that touches the soul, José Luis Jaén has collaborated with popular artists in Jazz San Javier like Dorantes, Zenet and Pepe Rivero and with Latin American stars such as the Mexican Carlos Cuevas or the Colombian Chabuco.

The extraordinary group that accompanies him deserves special mention: the great Valencian pianist Alex Conde, one of the best in Spain in the fusion between jazz and copla, the prestigious double bassist and bassist José Manuel Posada “Popo”, the spectacular drummer David León and one of the most respected Andalusian guitarists, Paco Rivas. In short, a great premiere at Jazz San Javier by one of the best vocalists in Spain!

Following José Luis Jaén is "San Javier to Paco de Lucía", a tribute show commemorating the tenth anniversary of the death in Mexico of Paco de Lucía, a key flamenco musician and one of the greatest guitarists in history. Jazz San Javier pay tribute to him, on the same stage that had the honour of hosting him within the Theater, Music and Dance Festival, with their own production fronted by two great musicians, much beloved at the festival, who shared many years with Paco as prominent members of his group.

Niño Josele and Antonio Serrano, two greats of the guitar and the harmonica respectively, offer some of Paco's best-loved songs performed with their own remarkably virtuoso skills.
