Festival de Jazz de MadridMadrid Jazz Festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary by organising a total of fifteen concerts at Teatro Fernán Gómez and two at Teatro Real (Opera House), as well as those performed on other stages as part of this year's festival: Joy Eslava club, Centro Cultural Nicolás Salmerón, and over 20 clubs that belong to La Noche en Vivo association for live music clubs.

The background music that surrounds Madrid as soon as November rolls around is pure jazz. The traditional festival, an unmissable event for jazz lovers, will be staging its 25th edition this year. A very special anniversary, which Teatro Fernán Gómez (Plaza de Colón, 4) commemorates with a total of 17 concerts, which will all begin with a live rendition of So What! live, magical, different and colourful, thanks to the installations conceived by artist Lidia Antón.
A genuine tribute to Miles Davis that will be the prelude to each performance, put on by artists like Concha Büika, Ivan Lins and Antonio Serrano on the 4th and Omara Portuondo on the 15th, who will take to the stage alongside Jorge Drexler and Martirio. On November 19, fans will be in for a surprise: the performance of Perico Sambeat Flamenco, the first Flamenco Big Band created in Spain.

Juntos para siempre (Together Forever) is the title of the latest work by Chucho and Bebo Valdés. They'll be performing the new tracks on November 7 at Teatro Real (Plaza Isabel II, s/n), accompanied by the splendid set designs created by Erich Wonder for the opera Händel's The Triumph of Time and Truth, representing a luxurious Art-Deco restaurant that the audience will be able to sit at. Diane Reeves and the Barry Harris Trío will be playing on the 12th.

The Nicolás Salmerón centre, Joy Eslava and another 20 venues around the city will also host the performances listed in this edition, which is completed with the programme of the 27th San Juan Evangelista Jazz Festival (until November 29) and the 13th Ciudad Lineal Jazz Festival (from November 11 to 23). They all share one common goal: to give the people in Madrid something to think about, contemplate and enjoy throughout the whole month.
