Quote Schivo: "Last year's festival was an extreme success, the festival grew and gained additinal recocnition worldwide, spiraling the 11th Annual Las Vegas City of Lights Jazz Festival into a very special light, and as our Jazz Festival continues to gain momentum, it will rank with the likes of all first-rate European and big-city-USA spring and summer Jazz Festivals, perhaps more so because Las Vegas is truly a one-of-a-kind city."
Past Jazz stalwarts that have graced the festival include: The legendary Jazz Crusaders, Norman Brown, Lee Ritenour, Hiroshima, Andy Narell, Rick Braun, Joe Sample, Boney James, Gerald Albright, Fattburger, Larry Carlton, Poncho Sanchez, Flora Purim and Airto, Ronnie Laws, The Yellowjackets, Hugh Masakela, Brenda Russell, Chuck Mangione, Alex Bugneon and many more. The Jazz Festival, established in 1994, has hosted capacity crowds in years past as people from around the country and Las Vegas locals as well, danced in the aisles to a full ten hours of quality Jazz entertainment.
