AB Jazz appeared in Spain almost at the same time as it did in the United Kingdom, France, andGermany, usually considered its main centers in Europe. The first musical “jazz” performancesin Spain, as described by contemporary papers, took place in Madrid and Barcelona betweenlate 1919 and early 1920. The term was soon linked to dances such as the one-step, the ragtime,and the foxtrot, which had appeared in Spain before jazz reached the country. The spread ofjazz in Spain was initially modest, especially in terms of its social base: its first listeners weremainly aristocrats and intellectuals. However, from the mid-1920s, jazz was leaking extensivelyinto musical theatre and cinema, helped by the enthusiastic reception of the charleston and thesuccess of Sam Wooding’s, Josephine Baker’s, and Jack Hylton’s performances. Jazz’s spreadcontinued during the Second Republic (1931–1936), mainly in Barcelona, where the large andexclusive Hot Club was founded in May 1935. This association edited a prestigious JazzMagazine and managed to bring Benny Carter’s big band and the Quintette du Hot Club deFrance to Barcelona in January 1936. It was also a model for the creation of further small clubsin other Catalan towns, in Madrid and Valencia. But the military revolt in July 1936 and theCivil War violently dislocated Spanish social and cultural life. General Francisco Franco’s victoryin 1939 established a dictatorship that would survive almost forty years.This chapter analyzes the relationship between jazz and Franco’s Spain up to 1968, whenthis music underwent a crisis and adjustment to new institutions, practices, and audiencesdirectly connected with the subsequent transition to democracy.
