From 16 to 18 July 2026, Piazza XX Settembre will host the 4th edition of Jazz in Valle, with three evenings dedicated to jazz music in the historic centre of Vallebona.
The 2026 edition is dedicated to Miles Davis and John Coltrane, marking the centenary of their birth. Protagonists of one of the most important collaborations in jazz history, they worked together on several landmark projects, including ’Round About Midnight, Milestones and Kind of Blue, before pursuing their own artistic paths, which profoundly influenced contemporary music.
The programme features three concerts, each with its own line-up and distinctive musical approach, celebrating and reinterpreting the legacy of these two great artists.
Completing the festival is Tracce di Jazz – il suono dell’immagine, a photography exhibition curated by Spazivisivi and hosted at Area Arte, offering a visual narrative dedicated to jazz music.
