NATIONAL ACTS start September 28-30, 2006
For 25 years, the Coastal Jazz Association has been bringing music lovers together to enjoy good company and great free music. This year will be even bigger since The Savannah Jazz Festival is celebrating its 25th Anniversary with special events and a stellar jazz lineup.
The 25th Anniversary of The Savannah Jazz Festival is a celebration of all the jazz that has been performed at Savannah's festival over the last quarter century, with a wide range of music, from Dixieland, traditional swing, straight-ahead and bop to melodic standards, Latin rhythms and funky downhome “gutbucket" blues. The festival promises to feature the best in international, national, regional and local jazz talent.
There will be something for everyone at this 25th Anniversary Jazz Extravaganza!
