Palatia Jazz goes into its 22nd year in 2018. Hard to believe that it’s been this long. And congratulations! The fact that internationally known acts, with a focus on Europe, play in various cities and breathtakingly beautiful locations in the hearty Pfalz region, seems like a hot recipe. If you plan to visit, don’t forget to indulge in the luscious wines – not only the Rieslings are world-famous.

This year’s festival kicks off on June 22nd in Speyer. Swiss-born, Berlin-based singer Lucia Cadotsch, who earlier this year played at the Winter Jazz Fest in New York, will bring her ambitious project to the Gedächtniskirche. Also coming up: James Blood Ulmer & David A. Barnes (June 22nd, Speyer), Caro Josée Quartet (June 30th, Neustadt), Pawel Kaczmarczyk Audiofeeling Trio (June 30th, Neustadt), Younee (July 20th, Bad Dürkheim), Hyleen (July 21st, Germersheim), Sly & Robbie feat. Nils Petter Molvaer Trio (July 21st, Germersheim), Grégory Privat Trio (July 26th, Bad Dürkheim), Incognito (July 28th, Bad Dürkheim), No Jazz (July 28th, Bad Dürkheim), Emil Brandqvist Trio who will release their new album “Within A Dream” on May 4th (August 4th, Herxheim-Landau), Raffaele Casarano Trio feat.
