The complete program of 47 Barcelona Jazz Festival

Published: Thursday, January 01, 1970 at 1h 00min AM

Among the news that have emerged during the presentation of the 47th Barcelona International Jazz Festival this afternoon (September 15, in the old factory Damm) highlights the Jazz & Food. On Saturday October 3rd in Poblenou Central Park, with entrance free of charge, you can enjoy live bands and a selection of 'food trucks' (the reinvention of street food vans).

The groups are local and will perform during all day from 11.30 am to 23 pm: The Excitements, Barcelona Gypsy Klezmer Orchestra, Orquesta Ilegal de Barcelona, Grégory Privat & Sonny Troupe, Barcelona Street Parade and Big Band Liceu Conservatory.

Although the festival will begin with a concert by Diana Krall on September 26 at the Forum Auditorium, a concert that had to open the last festival but had to cancel because of serious illness of the singer, as stated by Tito Ramoneda, manager of the promoter of the festival The Project, the Jazz & Food will be "a powerful kick-off" event.

The festival has never been so much longer than this year, three months, an will have about 100 activities and will end with the traditional Gospel concert at Christmas, 20 scenarios and spaces scattered throughout the city of Barcelona and surroundings (Sant Cugat and a 25th anniversary concert at Joventut Theater in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat), about 44,000 tickets on sale (just sold about 14,000) and a budget of 1,16 million euros (46% tickets, 16% City of Barcelona, Generalitat and Ministry of Culture and the rest by private sponsorship).

Txarango concert will not be repeated for the moment
As for the artists there have not been major news since previously announced. During the Txarango concert on September 21 -remember, in a jazz festival- with Chucho Valdes, the Barcelona Big Latin Band and arrangements of Ramón Escalé a special piece for the concert will be released, with all tickets sold out since two months in the Sant Jordi Club, but may not be repeated due to Chucho scheduling problems. This project has graphic support of Javier Mariscal, the name ‘We Sea, Barcelona to Havana' and the stage direction of Guillem Albà.
