José Luis Gutiérrez visited Jazz San Javier for the first time on the closing night of the 15th edition, alongside special guest Lucrecia, and offered a magnificent performance. Fun and instructive, he displayed his showmanship and his dominance of the saxophone. This musician from Valladolid has embarked on a crusade to rescue forgotten Iberian music and fuse it with jazz. He is a prodigy of sensitivity and expressive force, and an inventor of new instruments like the vibrantum or the panderidú, and a master of using diverse objects as musical instruments. The great Chucho Valdés has said about him, "Great and very original, I have never heard anything like this and I've listented to a great deal, I'm glad to have discovered the music of José Luis Gutiérrez."
