With 14 Hours of continuous jazz playing in up to eight separate locations at the same time, this is one of the finest combination Jazz Party/Festival in the U.S. & the World. LA Jazz Scene |

There were so many highlights throughout this festival here are a few; Jack Sheldon Big Band roaring through their performance; Tommy Saunders paying tribute to Wild Bill Davison with humorous stories and hot solos; Howard Alden, Bucky Pizzarelli and bassist Dave Stone during a set that can only be called exquisite; clarinet and tenor summits; and much more.
