It’s so cool that my uncle is a concert promoter with his own syndicated smooth jazz program because I’m a fan of the genre and he gets me access.
This year for the second time I attended the JazzTrax Festival on Catalina Island off the coast of California. Starting Thursday at a remote ranch was an evening concert. This was followed by three days of concerts in Avalon’s Casino Ballroom. The agenda is packed with ten concerts with dozens of famous jazz musicians: Acoustic Alchemy, Mindi Abair, Warren Hill, Rick Braun, Richard Elliott and many more. Music I love performed by top talent. It doesn’t get much better than that!
Check out the JazzTrax web site for Art’s most recent radio show.
After the break are pictures from my time at the concerts.
