The Detroit International Jazz Festival announces this year's line-up of Detroit-based jazz, blues, contemporary and gospel musicians. “The quality and quantity of musicians in Southeast Michigan is overwhelming. Because we can't possibly have enough slots at the festival, we have created a pre-festival club series in August" says festival director Terri Pontremoli. “But it still isn't enough!"
Detroit Jazz Fest, which showcased 160 Detroit-based musicians last year, will have no less than that again in 2008.
