It was a fantastic feast of musical talent featured at the 31st annual Long Beach Jazz Festival, held at a relaxed Southern California venue near the cool Rainbow Lagoon Park. The event was located next to the Long Beach Convention & Entertainment Center and the Aquarium. On Sunday night, the long running festival closed with a high-octane performance by the Stanley Clarke Band. Other performances included Randy Crawford, Kirk Whalum, Keiko Matsui, Jonathan Butler, Marcus Miller, Poncho Sanchez, Chante' Moore, David Benoit, Maysa, Everette Harp, Brian Simpson and Jazzmin Ghent.
