Mallorca Jazz Collective

The alma mater of this initiative is the Mallorcan Toni Vaquer, one of the most exalted musicians of the newest batches of jazz in our country. It arrives at the 24th edition of the Festival Mallorca Jazz Sa Pobla to present this promising project with a group of gifted musicians from Mallorca, who have participated in the Masterclass taught by him from August 7 to 10.
