During July and August, you can enjoy four free concerts featuring artists from Germany, England, Cuba and Spain.
The event organiser, Javier Salinas from the Clarence Jazz Club, stated that

Salinas also added that this year’s festival will also feature short performances from locally-based violinist Konstantin Merezhnikov, as well as a diverse gastronomic offering with a selection of food trucks.
Dates and times for all the concerts:
Monday 8th July
The Ralph Moore Quintet will take to the stage with a more contemporary jazz style. Moore recorded and toured in the 80s and early 90s with some of the genre’s greatest artists.
Monday 22nd July
Pedro Pablo & Three Cuban Jazz Feat Andiley Mojena. A Cuban musician with a long and impressive musical career whose objective is to share an experience of a performance in which the real protagonist is the true sound of Cuban Jazz from the golden years of the 30s, 40s and 50s.
Monday 5th August
German band ‘The Sazerac Swingers’ take to the stage and will take us back to the 20’s, the era when jazz music started to take over dance clubs all over the world.
Monday 19th August
Spanish group ‘Swing For Five’ will take us through the soundtrack of the 20th century, offering tunes that form part of the basic jazz repertoire because they were written for cinema or because the musicians transformed it into jazz. Some of the tracks they will play belong to classics like Pinocchio or the Wizard of Oz.
If you’re planning on visiting the Torremolinos Jazz Festival over the summer and are looking for accommodation, Sunset Beach Club hotel is just a few minutes drive from Parque de la Bateria. You can check availability and prices here www.sunsetbeachclub.com.
