ENGLISH: This portion of the competition, which took place during the morning, was for soloists of 16 to 20 years of age. They were permitted to be accompanied by a group that did not exceed eight musicians with no age limits on the accompanists, and improvisations were permitted only for the contestant. Each soloist was required to interpret two themes, one a Jazz "standard", and the other free choice. Some of the most commonly-recognized Jazz standards in this session were: The first soloist, Ángel Alexander Gómez Sanchez, a saxophonist, interpreted some Charlie Parker; the second, Claudio González Hernández, a flautist, included John Coltrane's Naima; another, a tenor saxophonist, included Body and Soul; a tresero played Spain by Chick Corea and Besame Mucho.
The contestants were introduced by Roxana Coz, a musicologist from the National Center of Popular Music (CNMP).
