Madrid Jazz by PS

Madrid has a jazz soul. Since the 1960s, the city hosted underground clubs during the Franco regime where jazz was synonymous with freedom and resistance. Then came the temples of European jazz that still play every night. This route takes you through the venues where Tete Montoliu saved Café Central by playing for five consecutive weeks, where Pedro Iturralde and Donna Hightower made history, and where bebop fused with flamenco to create unique sounds. Jazz in Madrid is not just heard, it is lived.

We have put together a jazz route in Madrid so you can take a stroll around the city, discovering places, shops and spaces related to Madrid's jazz scene. You can also listen to some songs that connect the genre with the city.

Navigate as you wish, get lost, but if you want to get on track, come back to Postal Sounds and follow the path.
