DETROIT-- The Detroit International Jazz Festival is now accepting materials from local/regional artists interested in performing at the 29th annual event, August 29 -September 1.

Hailed as one of the top 5 jazz festivals in the country in the January '08 Jazz Times Reader's Poll, Detroit Jazz Fest is an exceptional showcase for Detroit-based artists. “There aren't nearly enough slots for all of the qualified musicians, so the competition is fierce," said Terri Pontremoli, executive director of the DJF. “The music legacy in this town is very deep, and to this day strong, young artists are coming through the ranks."

Complete artist packets (cd, bio, photo) should be mailed to:
Detroit Jazz Fest
660 Woodward Ave. Suite 13
Detroit, MI 48226
Attn: Festival Director

All Jazz, Blues, Latin, Funk, Gospel, R&B and Avant-garde groups must submit materials before March 15. Materials will be reviewed and a committee will make recommendations. Selected artists will be announced in May. For more information, contact [email protected].
