| Sumario: | I review the progress made in the physics and astrophysics of black hole jet systems of all masses. The observations of stellar black hole jet sources (microquasars) provide clues to gain insight into Special Relativity effects in the jets, and strong field General Relativity phenomena, such as the quasi-periodic oscillations in the radiated power, and the redshifted iron lines produced close the horizon. Besides, microquasars provide clues on Astrophysical issues such as the accretion-jet connection, collapsars and black hole formation, the black hole spin, and a diversity of high energy astrophysical phenomena. © 2005 by World Scientific Publishing Co.
