What a year! Many thanks to our sponsors, donors, musicians, students and fans!
"The indoor concerts offered some of the most compelling programming in recent memory."
— All About Jazz
Festival highlights included an electrifying concert by Trombone Shorty; the Clayton-Hamilton Jazz Orchestra’s centennial tribute to Oscar Peterson with Benny Green; Dominick Farinacci’s celebration of Cleveland’s saxophone dynasty with Ernie Krivda, Howie Smith and Ken LeeGrand; and Stanley Clarke’s N•4EVER. A crowd of 6,900 fans enjoyed the ticketed concerts indoors.
The free music scene outside on the plaza was full of energy with an audience as diverse as the music. Over 20,000 fans enjoyed wall-to-wall music from 18 bands comprised of 103 local musicians and 14 ensembles featuring 86 students.
