• The Jazz Foundation will host an extension of the great Jalisco Jazz Festival.

The Puerto Vallarta Jazz Foundation has established itself as a major cultural center in its first year of life and has managed to strengthen strong links with the finest exponents of jazz in Mexico with the Festival of Riviera Maya and now with the Jalisco Jazz Fest.

The Jazz Foundation continues to celebrate its first anniversary of life. The "Jazz Club on the Beach" announces that it will host an extension of the Guadalajara Jazz Festival during the month of July.

The Jazz Foundation has made an important work to promote jazz linkage between the local and foreign community, and begins to reap what it has sown over the year.

The extension of Jalisco Jazz Festival is no minor thing. TJF will host a pair of concerts: The first will be with Sara Valenzuela and "The Outsiders" on July 8 and July 9, to make way for "Federico Sanchez" and the band "Guacamole" (Veracruz), on July 28 and July 30.

Speaking of jazz in Mexico means talking about Sara Valenzuela, a woman who over many years has put up the name of this genre, both in her work as vocalist and musician, broadcaster and cultural promoter. Sara Valenzuela, with Gilberto Cervantes, will give life again to the Jalisco Jazz Festival.

As usual, the festival not only offers interesting concerts where musicians from different parts of the country will share the stage with international artists, but also a number of educational exchanges and talks with clinics for musicians and assistants. This year's edition of Jalisco Jazz Festival will be held in the city of Guadalajara from July 28 to August 7, premiering major venues such as the Palace of Culture and Communication (Palcco) scheme. But the best part is that the Jazz Festival will get its feet wet in the waters of the bay and move to the best forum in the city, The Jazz Foundation.

After the successful opening ceremony where awards are given to all local and foreign musicians who have sown the seeds of jazz in the city and includes a special recognition of "Cuates y Cuetes" which was the prelude to the Jazz for years in Puerto Vallarta.

You won't want to miss the Jalisco Jazz Festival and the celebrations of the first anniversary.

The Jazz Foundation is located in Downtown Puerto Vallarta on the Malecon at Allende 116. Telephone is (322) 225-7894. For more information, visit The Jazz Foundation on Facebook.
