legendary jazz artists as Benny Golson, Lou Donaldson and Bruce Barth in scenes
drawn from the purest jazz atmosphere.

Antonio Porcar (Castellon, Spain) has dedicated his life to jazz. His close contact,
during the past 30 years, with many of the great jazz artists in Europe, London and
New York, combined with his mastery of the photographic art, have made him a

unique moments of his subjects.
