Comblain-la-Tour International Jazz Festival
3rd- 4th  July 2010

Comblain, “European Jazz capital”, the famous Festival starts again!
First European jazz  festival, legendary event of the Sixties', mythical place of the Jazz history  in Belgium and in the world, Comblain-La-Tour revived the blue note in 2009 on the occasion of the 50th  birthday  of the Festival creation by the GI Joe Napoli. After Chet Baker, Ray Charles, Nina Simone, John Coltrane and so many stars, Steve Houben, Philip Catherine, Archie Shepp and 17 groups put an end to a few decades of silence…
The magic still operates : two days of happiness in the fashion of Comblain is worth its weight in gold in our tumultuous world. The result is …a new festival on 3rd- 4th  July 2010!
