A the beginning of 1960, businessman Joan Rosselló transformed the Brindis bar, located at number 17 of the Plaza Real, into a jazz cellar. Upon a suggestion from crític Javier Coma, he named it Jamboree, a zulu word adopted by the scout movement which means “reunion of tribes”. Jamboree was born to integrate the sessions of the Jubilée Jazz Club, a pioneering entity in the promotion of the most daring jazz in Barcelona. From then until 1968, the cellar of the Plaza Real managed to position Barcelona as a stopping ground during the tours of jazz’s biggest names. The place also became renowned among intellectuals and the sailors of the VI fleet that would frequently dock in Barcelona
