JOJAZZ 2017 SPECIAL FEATURE / ARTICULO ESPECIAL SOBRE JOJAZZ 2017

ENGLISH:  Bill Tilford attended the 20th Anniversary  of  the Concurso de jóvenes jazzistas (JoJazz 2017)  in Havana, Cuba in November at the invitation of the National Center of Popular Music (CNMP).  More than merely a competition for Cuba's finest young Jazz talent, it also provides a glimpse of things to come in Jazz in Cuba.  We are pleased to present the most comprehensive look at JoJazz that you will find anywhere outside of Cuba (possibly inside for that matter - it includes a couple of hundred photos).  For the article, documents and several photo galleries with commentaries, 
CLICK HERE.
ESPAÑOL: Bill Tilford asistió al 20 aniversario del Concurso de jóvenes jazzistas (JoJazz 2017) en La Habana, Cuba en noviembre  por invitación del Centro Nacional de Música Popular (CNMP). Más que una mera competencia para el mejor talento joven de Jazz de Cuba, también ofrece una idea de lo que vendrá en Jazz en Cuba. Nos complace presentar la mirada más completa de JoJazz que encontrará en cualquier lugar fuera de Cuba (posiblemente dentro también, porque incluye un par de cientos de fotos). Para el artículo, documentos y varias galerías de fotos con comentarios,

JOJAZZ 2017 APPROACHES

JOJAZZ 2017 SE ACERCA


ENGLISH:
  The twentieth Edition of the International Competition of Young Jazz Artists (JoJazz)  will take place November 16-19 in Havana, Cuba.  JoJazz is short for Jovenes Jazzistas but is also a play on words (joyas=jewels).   It is a competition rather than a festival and is therefore almost unattended by foreigners, but it is a fascinating event because much of Cuba's young emerging Jazz talent passes through this event on the way to bigger and better things.   You can read an English translation of the official call for contestants here (click on the link) - it explains the stucture of the competition in detail.   You can also view some scenes from last year's JoJazz, which I attended, here, here, here and here.

ESPAÑOL
: La vigésima edición del Concurso Internacional de Jóvenes  Jazzistas (JoJazz) tendrá lugar del 16 al 19 de noviembre en La Habana, Cuba. JoJazz es la abreviatura de Jovenes Jazzistas pero también es un juego de palabras (joyas). Es más un concurso  que un festival y, por lo tanto, tipicamente experimenta poca presencia de extranjeros, pero es un evento fascinante porque gran parte del joven talento emergente del Jazz de Cuba pasa por este evento en el camino a cosas más grandes y mejores. Puede leer la convocatoria oficial para concursantes aquí (haz clic en el enlace) - se explica la estructura de la competencia en detalle. También puedes ver algunas escenas de JoJazz del año pasado, a lo que asistí, aquí, aquí, aquí y aquí.
