It's a 20th anniversary vintage year for the Healdsburg Jazz Festival, pouring over the first ten days of this coming June, in the Sonoma County “wine country" 70 miles north of San Francisco.

Jazz House Kids: The House that Jazz Built
by Bob Kenselaar
When we think of jazz education, we might first think about what's developed at the college level and at music conservatories over the last fifty years or so, and then maybe consider how jazz instruction and jazz bands have flourished at the high school and middle school levels a little more recently.

Anat Cohen/Fred Hersch: Live In Healdsburg
by Dan Bilawsky
When you think of these two lauded artists, duo encounters aren't the first thing likely to come to mind.

Dawn Clement: Here In The Moment

2017: The Year in Jazz
by Ken Franckling
A year of achievements, challenges to gender inequality, scandal and losses The year 2017 was quite something for the jazz world.
