Truly extraordinary moments tend to happen when high-altitude, great attitude and breathtaking mountain beauty mix with great jazz from all the genres. Telluride Jazz Celebration (TJC) has consistently earned national and international favor for featuring the best in classic, mainstream, blues, African and Latin jazz music, and this year will be no exception.
In addition to the 2010 featured artists, there will be additional TJC events like wine tastings, yoga and jazz brunches. And the exceptionally beautiful Telluride region offers a wealth of outdoor activities including golfing, jeeping, hiking, camping, kayaking, fly fishing and simply taking it all in while relaxing. Don't forget the great restaurants, shopping on historic main street, and the views from the gondola.
It really is More Than Jazz. Join us this August!
