Performing at the celebrations will also be very special guests such as Jeff Davis, Maria João, and Mário Laginha, some of the great names of Portuguese jazz soloists.
Daily festival tickets cost 10 euros, except for Hot Clube Portugal members, whose entry is free.
The celebrations of the 75th anniversary of the Hot Clube de Portugal will be held in a different location from the one in which it has been in recent years.
It should be remembered that the Hot Clube de Portugal has operated in Praça da Alegria, in Lisbon, since its foundation, first in number 39, a building that burned down in 2009, and then moved to number 48, which was closed in January , by city council order, justified by “structural issues” of the building.
The oldest active European jazz club was officially founded on March 19, 1948, when Luiz Villas-Boas, music lover and its founder, filled out membership form number one – a form that remains in the institution’s heritage.
Alongside the club and the Luiz Villas-Boas Jazz School, part of ‘Hot”s work also involves the museological nucleus, based mainly on the estate left by the founder, who died in 1999.
