In the southwestern department of the Gers, a small town with a modest veneer in rolling farmland becomes a jewel for two weeks in August when it shines as the model for how to bring the music to the people. Hippest farmers you'll ever meet. Free afternoon concerts on the town square, not far from the larger-than-life statue of Wynton Marsalis, are followed by main events in an enormous tent.
This year's line up of jazz artists includes Caetano Veloso, Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, Bobby McFerrin, Stefano Di Battista, Uri Caine, Omar Sosa, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Oliver Jones, Diana Krall, Brad Mehldau, McCoy Tyner, Bill Evans, Metro, Christian Escoudé, Biréli Lagrène, Didier Lockwood
