This year's Ibiza Jazz Festival features both local and international musicians with a wealth of experience and is headlined by Jesse Davis with his quartet. New Orleans born Davis studied at Ellis Marsalis' Centre for Creative Arts and has been notably involved with the Charlie Parker Legacy Band (video.)
Brought forward in the calendar to avoid clashing with the San Antonio and San Agustin Fiestas, the Jazz Fest takes place on the old town, Dalt Vila's Santa Lucia battlements from 15th to 18th August.
New for this year is an after concert jam session and Jazz disco with DJs Ric Jazzbo, Joan Ribas and the festival organiser, Miquel Botja.
