Jazz, you think of New Orleans, San Francisco, even Tokyo, but Madrid Spain?  25 years strong the Madrid Jazz Festival is going and going.  Check it out, more here via the official site in Spanish.

In 2008, the event is held in memory of Tete Montliu, commemorating ten years since the jazz pianist's death, and the line-up is as impressive as ever. A range of jazz legends travel across the Atlantic to perform, including Harry Connick Jr, Dianne Reeves, saxophonist Ornette Coleman and four-piece group The Manhattan Transfer. European artists include Madrid-born Joaquín Chacón and the Vienna Art Orchestra.
