THE 25th annual
ATLANTA JAZZ FESTIVAL
**********************************
Are you ready? It's about that time ya'll!
Once again, one of the greatest music festivals in the world will blanket
Atlanta with hundreds of eclectic performances throughout the city. . . from
Underground Atlanta to the Hartsfield Airport atrium; from Centennial Olympic
Park to Border's Books and Music; from Piedmont Park to various restaurants
and clubs throughout the entire metro Atlanta area.
It’s a celebration of America's only original art form -- featuring one of
the world's largest FREE showcases of celebrated jazz legends and
up-and-coming jazz greats meeting in the soulful south for the world-renowned
Atlanta Jazz Festival! To be honest. . .this festival is one of the main
reasons I live in this city!
Atlanta plays host to talented jazz artists and performers from every corner
of the world for nine days of the best music in the world. We are opening
our arms to over 100 entertainers. . .and you are invited to experience what
jazz is all about.
Whatever your preference -- Dixieland, blues, swing, big band, bop, fusion,
funk, Latin, Brazilian, Afro-Cuban, world groove, hip-hop, trip-hop, jam
bands, and even ambient, electro, hip hop, neo-soul or acid jazz -- the
Atlanta jazz festival has the vibe for you!
Even if you are not sure whether or not you like jazz -- the Atlanta Jazz
Festival will change your mind, expose you to an unmatchable vibe, give you a
selection of all that jazz is, was, and can be. . .and make you a believer!
You can hear the best in jazz all over the metro area from Sunday, May 19th
all the way through Monday the 27th. That's nine days of bliss. . .and it's
all free (well, most of it is anyway) The music's all free -- but if you want
to eat and drink, well. . .that's involves a bit of cash, of course.
