Jazz Peñiscola
The giant of the blues world B. B. King is undoubtedly the major attraction of the 8th edition of this festival, that over the years has become one of the foremost on the summer musical agenda of Spain. The American legend offers a special concert on July 20 in the port area of Peniscola, a venue with capacity for 4,000 people. This concert will be the first of three that he will offer in Spain. He will without doubt be the big attraction but not the only one because the festival also features other leading figures from the jazz world.
The Jeff Lorber Fusion will be charged with opening the festival with a concert in the Palau de Congressos on 8 July. On 15 July will be Lucky Peterson, Lucky Peterson, another American musician who plays contemporary blues, fusing soul, R&B, gospel and rock and roll. The last two concerts will feature two of the best female vocalists of the current jazz scene: Cassandra Wilson (22 July) and Roberta Gambarini (29 July).
