Barcelona Jazz Festival

My of my favourite music festivals in Europe each summer is the jazz festival in Barcelona. From the 19th of October until the 29th of November the 40th edition of the Voll-Damm Festival International de Jazz de Barcelona will be held this year, in several venues.

The Barcelona international jazz festival is one of the largest and most appreciated events in Europe. The festival takes place during the autumn Barcelona and jazz musicseason and that what makes it pleasant as well because the real summer heat has gone and there are less tourists.

During the festival there are several music styles where you can listen to, from large bands and bebop to gospel and Latin jazz. All the songs are played by a great number of international artists.

The festival will be held in Palau de la Música and Barcelona accommodation for the jazz festival is still available. For flights a good site which compares several companies is http://www.expedia.co.uk/
