Calpe Costa Blanca Spain

XIII Jazz Nights in Calpe 2011

Nits de Jazz Calpe 2011 comes back this summer. This now classic annual season arrives for the delight of jazz, blues and swing. Returns to town this August with two fantastic concerts: Mauri Sanchis and Big Band Taller de Sedajazz.

Both shows will take place at the Odeon Theatre —an outdoor amphitheatre located on 1 Masnou Avenue in Calpe, with capacity for 659 people.

Mauri Sanchis, one of the most popular Spanish musicians in the international groove scene —be it in blues, jazz or soul— will lead the opening event of the XIII Jazz Nights in Calpe festival 2011 on Monday 16th August at 22:00 h.

He will be playing music from his latest album, Intimo, with more acoustic and relaxed rhythms as usual.

Mauri Sanchis, on the other hand, will be accompanied by the melodic voice of Deim Robinson and the amazing skills of Blas Fernández on the drums. If you are not familiar with Mauri Sanchis and would like to listen to his works, we invite you to visit his website, www.maurisanchis.com.

The second concert of the festival will be on 23rd August, also at 22:00 h on the fabulous stage of the Odeon Theatre: BIG BAND TALLER DE MUSICA SEDAJAZZ.

This big band was founded in 2009 from the Sedajazz Creative Music Workshop. 18 musicians joined talents and instruments to deliver unique jazz sessions. This concert brings the sound of swing to Calpe and promises music along the lines of Count Basie, Sammy Nestico, Duke Ellington and Louis Bellson.

This is a great lineup for the second part of the XIII edition of Jazz Nights in Calpe 2011.
