Festival de Jazz de la Provincia de Sevilla 2026: Miguel Zenón, Martha High and Zenet in 24 concerts across 12 towns, from €3

Seeing a Grammy winner for €3 is possible this November in twelve towns in Sevilla. The Festival Internacional de Jazz en la Provincia de Sevilla, organised by the Provincial Council and now in its 33rd edition, spreads 24 concerts from 5 to 28 November across theatres and cultural centres in the province, with Miguel Zenón, Martha High, Peter Bernstein and Zenet among its names.

As each project repeats on three consecutive nights, anyone who cannot make it on Thursday can catch the same concert on Friday or Saturday in another town in the province.

From Zenón's boleros to Martha High's soul

The weekend of the 12th to the 14th carries the most international weight. Puerto Rican saxophonist Miguel Zenón and Venezuelan pianist Luis Perdomo, who have played together for more than twenty years, present ‘El arte del bolero vol. 2’, the album that won them the 2024 Grammy for best Latin jazz album: songs by Tito Rodríguez, Rubén Blades, Simón Díaz and Rafael Hernández. On the same nights, New York guitarists Peter Bernstein and Steve Cardenas, with Ben Allison on double bass and Matt Wilson on drums, devote their quartet to Thelonious Monk.

From the 19th to the 21st, it is soul's turn. Martha High, who shared the stage with James Brown for more than three decades and became his longest-serving vocalist, now sings with the Julián Maeso Organ Trío, led by the organist who has played with M Clan and Jorge Pardo. That same weekend, Ibizan vibraphonist Andrés Coll brings his island's folk music to contemporary jazz alongside Moroccan musician Majid Bekkas, a specialist in Gnawa music.

The closing weekend, from the 26th to the 28th, has an Andalusian and Madrid flavour: pianist Chico Pérez and flautist and saxophonist Sergio de Lope, two names in today's flamenco jazz, present ‘Ibérica’ with flamenco singer Aroa Fernández, and pianist Ester Quevedo debuts the songs from her second album, ‘Garabato’, with her quintet. The first weekend featured Zenet, with the acoustic repertoire of ‘Las manos y la voz’, and saxophonist Bernardo Parrilla, with his jazz and flamenco sextet ‘Puente Flamenco’.
