Last-minute change in Galapajazz: The trio Medeski, Martin and Wood suspended the tour for reasons of emergency
July 7, 2009 By Redaccion
Galapajazz suffered a last-minute change. It is the unexpected suspension of the tour of the U.S. trio Medeski, Martin and Wood who had planned to perform at the Teatro Jacinto Benavente on Thursday July 9.
An emergency medical John Medeski has compelled to take this step after that, after his arrival in Europe would be affected by an occipital nerve neuralgia with facial paralysis.
After the relevant medical tests, Medeski has let his inability to continue with the tour this summer that it would lead to scenarios of Austria, Germany, United Kingdom and Spain, where Jaen Galapagar and were the only two places where I had planned act.
However, since the first time they had known this news, the organization of Galapajazz has been working to solve this unexpected change and continue to offer all their followers a sign of luxury.
Finally, Medeski is replaced by the Italian saxophonist Stefano Di Battista, one of Europe's best jazz musicians of international level that are relevant to Galapagar act in the July 9 and at the Festival de Jazz de Vitoria, on July 16.
Musician talent search for new forms of expression, genuine representative of the new generation of international jazzman, but with a remarkable balance between tradition and modernity.
Besides good composer and virtuoso performer, his concerts are a delight, both for the quality of what is heard by their ability to contact immediately with the viewer.
Since the organization of the Festival bemoaned the lack of Medeski but are sure that Stefano will provide a spectacle worthy of the tenth edition of the International Jazz Festival, which will satisfy all participants.
It also reminds all those who have already purchased your ticket for Medeski and wish to return may do so at the box office of Teatro Jacinto Benavente.
