More jazz in Barcelona
Barcelona is one of those privileged cities where jazz plays 365 days a year. It boasts some of the best clubs in the country, with venues like the Harlem Jazz Club. For a more show-like format, The Jazz Room pays tribute to Sinatra, Armstrong, and company at the historic Jamboree Jazz Club. And then there’s the Barcelona International Jazz Festival, which turns 60 this year and is already underway through December.
