Laboratorio Atlántico de Jazz y Nuevas Músicas

Jazz of, from
and for Canarias

Atlantic Jazz Lab is the short name of the Laboratorio Atlántico de Jazz y Nuevas Músicas, a platform built to promote jazz of, from and for the Canary Islands.

Since 2016 we have worked, with respect and care, to preserve and renew this music and to bring it to new audiences: concerts, artistic residencies, pre-concert talks, workshops for musicians, festivals, carte-blanche programmes and concerts for children and families.

We also work to professionalise the sector by contracting our artists properly, with full inclusion and no distinctions of any kind.

Running since 2016

Legal name Atlantic Jazz Lab AIE

Based in La Orotava · Tenerife

Why it matters

All seven islands We also programme where there is no regular season: small towns and the smaller islands.

Affordable tickets Prices below the market rate and series with free entry, so the ticket never decides who comes in.

State schools Our education projects reach state schools at no cost to families, and classrooms where a live band has never played.

Professional work Professional contracts and conditions for the musicians and technicians who work with us.

Line-ups La Orchestra y el Ensemble, plus the house’s resident projects.

Residencies Time, a room and gear so a project can cook until it is ready to premiere.

Workshops and talks Training for musicians and talks for the audience before concerts.

Family and children Concerts for children and families, and programmes with schools.

Festivals Our own programming and a presence at the festivals of the archipelago.

Carte blanche A musician chooses the programme, the line-up and the guests, and the house backs it.

Studio Atlantic Jazz Lab Studios: a 45 m² recording and rehearsal room in La Orotava, for acoustic projects from a solo to a big band.

Professional terms We contract our artists properly, with full inclusion and no distinctions of any kind.
