Flamenco is no sleeping partner of jazz in Spain, it's a driving force behind the music scene. And that can be seen all too clearly from the 21st Madrid jazz festival, which runs from 15th October to 20th November at different venues around the Spanish capital, including the city's jazz clubs. Paco de Lucía, Tomatito, the Gerardo Núñez Ensemble with Carmen Cortés, the Jorge Pardo, Carles Benavent and Tino di Geraldo trio, Chano Domínguez and Martirio with ‘Acoplados’... All will add a splash of flamenco to an event which also features jazz artists who have dabbled in the flamenco arts, such as Jerry González, Pedro Iturralde, Perico Sambeat, Javier Colina, Antonio Serrano and even Bebo Valdés. They'll all be rubbing shoulders with international jazz giants like McCoy Tyner, Brad Mehldau and Maceo Parker... the list goes on. This season's program for the Music and Jazz Club at Colegio Mayor San Juan Evangelista also includes concerts by cantaores Enrique Morente and Miguel Poveda.
