September, 2010
A counterpart to our wildly popular Summer Fest, our winter Jazz festival included a variety of established players and exciting Jazz upstarts—from straight-ahead Jazz to innovative young artists that are moving the art form forward, there was something for everyone to discover.
Highlights included an artist-driven collaboration by Ambrose Akinmusire and Gerald Clayton, Vocalist Jamie Davis, New York-based saxophone prodigy Grace Kelly, The Blues All Stars with J.C. Smith, Chris Cain & Maxx Cabello Jr., and Rupa and the April Fishes, a global group that mixes elements of Gypsy Swing, Colombian Cumbia, French Chanson and Indian ragas. These concerts were held at the intimate Theater on San Pedro Square, offering a unique opportunity to experience these artists in a personal way.
Other ticketed events included a Blues Dance Party featuring Summer Fest favorite Legally Blue and a Salsa Dance Party with the Pacific Mambo Orchestra, both held at the San Pedro Square Market. There was also a free “Club Crawl” featuring performances by great local Jazz groups at various bars and restaurants along San Pedro Street, which offered food and drink specials during the festival.
