Vitoria-Gasteiz jazz festival is celebrated since 1977 in Vitoria-Gasteiz (Spain) in July. == History == Initially, the festival lasted two days. In 1981 artists including Oscar Peterson and Muddy Waters began to appear. Later came Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie with Stan Getz, Sarah Vaughan and Jaco Pastorius. Since 1995 the festival has been celebrated in Mendizorrotza expanding to a full week of concerts and music related activities. In 1999, in its 14th edition, the series ''Jazz of the 21st Century'' provided an opportunity for jazz musicians coming to Spain for the first time. Artists such as Noa, Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Hope Spalding, Thomas Chapin and Esbjörn Svensson have been featured. The festival also introduced an educational program for students and professionals which drew teachers including Joe Pass, Herb Ellis, Ray Brown, Wynton Marsalis, Pat Metheny, Juilliard School of New York and Fred Hersch. There have been meetings in Vitoria-Gasteiz that have passed to the music history such as Dizzy Gillespie with Stan Getz, Chick Corea with Bobby McFerrin, Paco de Lucía with Wynton Marsalis and Jamie Cullum with José James. The festival inspired Wynton Marsalis to compose Vitoria Suite with the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra and Paco de Lucía as guest. In 2010 it was presented as a CD, as a tribute to Vitoria-Gasteiz and its Festival. The festival is the only Spanish festival that belongs to the IJFO (International Jazz Festival Organization). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vitoria-Gasteiz jazz festival」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
