Amongst the dozens of exhibitions on at the moment, another will be inaugurated tomorrow, in The Centre of Contemporary Culture of Barcelona, that records the 20th century through Jazz. From it's birth in the first years of the 20th century, the Jazz has inter-related intimately with the other forms of art like painting, photography and films.

Together with cinematography and Rock, Jazz was one of the most important artistic events of the last century. This exhibition will be presented in chronological form the relationship between Jazz and art including literature, not forgetting graphics and animation drawings.

Or, if you prefer to be right in the middle of live jazz with the dimmed lights and smoky atmosphere, there are countless Jazz clubs in Barcelona, all celebrating with or without the pretext of it being the centennial event.
