The 2014 celebration of the International Jazz Day, at the Ennejma Ezzahra palace has been, according to the opinion of all who have the opportunity to attend it, an amazing time. A real feast, to celebrate a music genre, which has always had a prominent place at the Centre for Arab and Mediterranean music. The project of the School of Jazz and the Couleurs Jazz Festival (2002-2010) is still in mind.
