July 7 Lizz Wright at the San Javier International Jazz Festival

One of the finest voices on the current international jazz scene at the open-air auditorium of Parque Almansa in San Javier

TICKETS FOR THE 28^th SAN JAVIER INTERNATIONAL JAZZ FESTIVAL ARE NOW ON SALE ONLINE HERE (both season tickets and individual concerts)

Many years have passed since 2004, when Lizz Wright first visited the 7th edition of Jazz San Javier on a historic night sharing the bill with the great Steve Winwood. Even then, at the beginning of her career, she displayed extraordinary talent, which has since placed her among the greatest jazz singers of our time.

Her elegant style of vocal jazz with hints of soul, gospel, and occasional folk influences, makes her, according to The New York Times, the heir to a direct lineage from Odetta to Tracy Chapman. Accompanied by an extraordinary group, Lizz offers us a selection of the best from her eight albums, especially her latest, “Shadow,” a marvellous recording that showcases the great artistic peak this fantastic artist is currently experiencing.
