Ibiza gets ready to welcome Jazz Point Ibiza, the first international festival of its kind to hit the island. With three special dates featuring "eight international jazz giants" plus a series of masterclasses, you can satisfy all your jazz needs on the first weekend in March. Here's how.
Get the weekend started at the art-infused HEART Ibiza on Friday 6 March 2020 from 21:00 to 4:00. Both the Rick Margitza Quartet and Muriel Grossmann Quintet will be playing. The masters will also put on an open jam session. You will also get to enjoy a vinyl DJs set of soul-jazz and funk by Rick Jazzbo. Tickets are €20 and you can get them from the HEART website.
The festival continues the next night, on Saturday 7 March, at Teatro in Ibiza Town from 20:30 to 23:30. The Pere Navarro Quintett will be getting the evening started, followed by the Jure Pukl Quartet. Tickets for this one are €15. Buy tickets for both nights for €30.
For its final date, the Big Band Ciutat D'Eivissa will be hitting the Mercado Viejo for its only free concert, from 12:00 to 13:00 on Sunday 8 March.
