St Croix Hosts the Blue Jay Jazz Fest
From the eJazzNews, the #1 source jazz resource on the web, New Orleans Jazz Greats in St. Croix Fest; Stephanie Jordan, Donald Harrison.
Sultry sounds from trumpets, trombones, saxophones and pianos will waft through the evening air when the highly anticipated Blue Bay Jazz Fest makes its mark on St. Croix November 15-18, 2007, featuring an impressive lineup of talented local performers and celebrated musicians from the city where jazz was born: New Orleans.
This sounds like an awesome festival. Does it get any better than kicking back on a beach, having a few brews and enjoying some live jazz?
The lineup includes Donald Harrison, Jr., trumpeter Christian Scott, vocalist Stephanie Jordan and the Jordan Family, pianist Henry Butler, Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews, and The New Orleans Trumpet Summit featuring Kermit Ruffins, James Andrews, Marlon Jordan, Christian Scott and Troy Andrews.
In addition to amazing live shows by jazz masters, the Jazz Fest will feature local foods, arts and crafts, dance troupes, Quelbe musical groups, stilt-dancing mocko jumbies and street entertainers all weekend long, as well as fundraising events, including a “Hugo to Katrina” benefit cocktail party.
A festival sponsor, WWOZ 90.7 FM, New Orleans’ Jazz and Heritage radio station, will broadcast live from the multi-day event.
Sounds like good times.
