[edit] Jazz in Spain

[edit] History

Jazz in Spain began with an interest in Dixieland or New Orleans jazz. In that time it evolved into other styles often influenced by visiting Americans. In 1947 Don Byas introduced Tete Montoliu to bebop and later efforts to fuse jazz with flamenco occurred. Catalan and Galician music is also an influence in some regions.

Still jazz in Spain initially suffered from many difficulties. One example being that the cultural, political, and economic climate was unsuitable for much of a jazz movement. This predates Francisco Franco to some extent, but his rule placed far more restraints on jazz. This came in part due to his regimes restrictions and in part due to it being isolated on various cultural fronts. The end of his reign, and the development of the economy, has allowed for there to be an increased jazz scene in the last twenty years.[1]

In a related vein Spanish classical or folk music has been an influence on jazz musicians both inside and outside of Spain. Concierto de Aranjuez by Joaquín Rodrigo has been interpreted by Miles Davis and, in a non-jazz version, by Paco de Lucía.
