Since 1996 (except 2009), the International Festival of Jazz takes place every summer. For lovers of this music, artists from around the world come to Punta del Este to play this melodies.

In summer 2010 the festival will be held in “Finca El Sosiego”, next to the dairy farm Lapataia, where the event was done previously. This place, surrounded by hills and nature, it’s a perfect combination to enjoy this event.

The 14th edition of the festival will be held between 7 and 10 January, with musical direction by Paquito D’Rivera.

Among the featured artists stand the drummer Terri Lyne Carrington (http://www.terrilynecarrington.com), with the voice of Niki Harris Helen Sung on piano, saxophonist Grace Kelly and Katie in Thiroux on bass.
