The Barcelona Jazz Festival takes place every year in concert halls all over the city. This 47th edition of the festival hosts concerts in venues as diverse as the magnificent historical Palau de la Música Catalana or small underground bars, such as Jamboree and Harlem Jazz Club, both in Barri Gòtic. That is why if you are staying in a holiday apartment in Barcelona from the 26th of September to the 11th of December, you should not miss out some of the concerts offered by the Barcelona Jazz Festival 2015.
Diana Krall, the Canadian jazz pianist and singer known for her contralto vocals, officially opened the festival on the 26th of September. Other highlights from the programme include the Cuban Chucho Valdés on the 20th and the 22nd of November or Israeli singer Noa on the 9th of December.
