George Wein, 80-years old, has produced the festival since it's
inception in
1954, added, "I'm as proud of the 2006 JVC Jazz Festival Newport as any
event I've ever created. It represents a total picture of what the jazz
scene is in America today." |

Due to the damaging effects of Hurricane Katrina the U.S. Mint is
unable to host Satchmo SummerFest in 2006 as it did in previous
years. In light of that the French Market has graciously donated
space between Ursulines and Barracks Street for Satchmo SummerFest.
Festival-goers will again enjoy what makes Satchmo SummerFest so
special - free jazz performances, delicious local cuisine in Red Bean
Alley, educating seminars, children's activities, art exhibits, a
"Satchmo Club Strut," a very special evening concert, a Jazz Mass and
authentic second-line parade, and much more. With so many festivities
planned, it's no wonder why Satchmo SummerFest has quickly become a
summertime favorite and one of the Southeast Tourism Society's Top 20
Events.
Complete schedule follows. For more information, call (800) 673-5725,
(504) 522-5730, or visit www.fqfi.org
for more info. |

Mississauga’s Blues & Jazz Festival, The Southside Shuffle,
celebrates their 8th year with a stellar Mainstage lineup, an abundance
of events and venues ensuring 2006 to be their best year yet. The
festival takes place on September 8th, 9th, 10th at Memorial Park,
Lakeshore Rd (just west of Hurontario) Mississauga, Ontario.
Headlining the Southside Shuffle Mainstage is three of Canada’s music
icons. Former front man for Blood Sweat & Tears, Mr. David
Clayton Thomas, with his new 11 pc powerhouse band featuring some of
Canada’s finest jazz musicians. Toronto’s own, Jeff Healey
and The Jazz Wizards. Popular for his hard Blues/Rock music, Jeff takes
a new direction, providing fans with not only his signature guitar
technique but with his talents as a trumpet and trombone player.
Then what would the Southside Shuffle Festival be without another
Canadian favourite, the legendary Downchild Blues Band. 35 years
and still going strong, Downchild is a guaranteed good time. |

Chicago is the African American family reunion capital of the
world. So, it is no surprise that one of the most popular
events to have a family reunion is at the annual JazzFest Heritage
Music Weekend, which takes place August 4-6 at the South Shore Cultural
Center, 7059 South Shore Drive.
 Andy Bey
This year’s 25th Anniversary theme is “Connecting Family
Ties.” And what better way to emphasize family than to
bring some of Chicago’s and New Orleans’ jazz families together to
perform at this free, two-day annual event. Throughout the
weekend, almost every performer has either a musical family or New
Orleans connection—starting with Darius de Haas, who will kick-off the
weekend at the “We Love You Madly” Awards Gala on Friday, August
4. On Saturday, the son of bassist Eddie de Haas and Jazz Unites’
founder, Geraldine de Haas, will join his Grammy nominated uncle Andy
Bey on stage to perform.
On Sunday, another talented family, the Jordans, will grace the
stage. The extraordinary New Orleans siblings are helping to keep
the tradition of great musical families from the Crescent City
alive. Led by Marlon Jordan on trumpet, Rachel Jordan on violin,
and Kent Jordan on flute, the group is rounded out by the vocals of
Stephanie Jordan—who critics are calling one of the next great jazz
singers. |
