Colorado's acclaimed jazz and swing ensemble After Midnight has been selected to perform at Fest Jazz, a celebrated international jazz festival in Brittany, France, in July 2027. To help make the journey possible, the band has launched a public fundraising campaign and announced a special benefit performance,"A Night in Paris," at Dazzle Denver on January 31, 2027.
For more than two decades, After Midnight has delighted audiences throughout Colorado with energetic performances inspired by the golden age of swing and jazz. The invitation to perform in France represents a significant milestone for the group and provides an opportunity to share Colorado's vibrant jazz scene with an international audience.
To support travel and festival expenses, the band is inviting music lovers, community supporters, and local businesses to participate in its France Tour fundraising campaign. Contributions will help cover transportation, lodging, equipment, and related costs associated with the international performance.
The fundraising effort will culminate in"A Night in Paris," an unforgettable evening of music at Dazzle. Guests will enjoy a Paris-inspired jazz experience featuring hot swing, gypsy jazz favorites, French-inspired classics, and the infectious energy that has made After Midnight one of Colorado's most beloved jazz ensembles. The event will also include raffles, giveaways, and other opportunities to support the band's upcoming European adventure.
“We're honored to have been invited to perform at Fest Jazz and excited to represent Colorado on an international stage," said Roger Campbell, founder and leader of After Midnight. “This tour is an incredible opportunity for our musicians, and we're grateful for the support of everyone helping us bring American jazz to audiences in France."
