On Wednesday, March 18th I wrote about the upcoming 25th Anniversary of the Puerto Rico Heineken Jazzfest. So rather than bore you with all the details of who played when, or how good they were (because they were all outstanding), I thought it would be better just to show you. After four days of perfect weather I ended up with thousands of images, so this is only a small representation.
As a longtime attendee (20 years) of the Puerto Rico Heineken Jazzfest I must say that this festival is much more than a musical event. It’s a gathering of friends who meet once a year to enjoy the best music in the world on the most beautiful Island in the Caribbean. There’s even a group of fans that call themselves “El Sindicato Del Jazz” who meet every year on Sunday afternoon to enjoy a barbeque, beer, refreshments, music and good conversation right before the final event.
So if you missed it this year, be sure to put the Puerto Rico Heineken Jazzfest on your list for 2016.
Enjoy the pictures!
