July 22 Diana Krall in concert at the 2024 San Javier Jazz Festival
San Javier is honoured to welcome the Canadian star at the open-air auditorium of Parque Almansa in San Javier
The honour of closing the 2024 San Javier Jazz Festival goes to the Canadian pianist and singer Diana Krall, winner of three Grammy Awards and eight Juno Awards, famed for a string of top-10 US chart albums and with more than fifteen million records sold worldwide.
She is the only singer in the history of to have seen 8 albums debut right at the top of Billboard magazine's list of the best jazz albums and the magazine also named “jazz artist of the decade 2000-2009.” Her exquisite discography features producer Tommy LiPuma and the great Claus Ogerman on several occasions and Diana has become a universal jazz icon and one of the most popular and prestigious artists in the world.
For this reason the honour is not only for Diana Krall – it is more of a privilege for San Javier to be able to welcome her on stage and offer fans a long-awaited chance to see this wonderful artist in concert.
