Top jazz acts from across the world congregate in pint-sized San Javier to perform the International Jazz Festival. The Murcian town sits close to the Mar Menor, a huge salty lagoon separated from the Mediterranean by a 22km sand bar.
In 2009, highlights include the jazz supergroup CTI All Stars Band featuring Hubert Laws, Bill Evans, Randy Brecker, Russell Malone, Niels Lan Doky, Mark Egan, Jeff "Tain" Watts, Airto Moreira, Flora Purim and Creed Taylor.
