The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Live Jazz, September 5-11
After four days at the Detroit Jazz Festival over Labor Day, I reached two firm conclusions: 1) The Detroit Jazz Festival is probably the world's best free jazz extravaganza as well as the largest; and 2) you don't need to go to a festival in Detroit (or Chicago) to hear the best jazz musicians in the ...

Jazz does not take a holiday - but music makes the holiday weekend a real celebration.

Come the first part of August and it seems summer —which never really got here—is already winding down: Back to School sales, cooler evenings, fading lillies, and that final scramble to spend time at the cabin.

The totally free “three-day" 2014 Twin Cities Jazz Festival really got its start in early June with the first of three Jazz in the Library gigs. The Saint Paul-centered event really expanded across the entire state as the festival-sponsored Jazz Central All-Stars launched a 3-month, six-city tour in late May.

The Lead Sheet: Twin Cities Live Jazz, July 11-17
Is it still summer? Some days it has been hard to tell, when it feels like April one minute and September the next and rarely July.
