About me: Thank you to the thousands of jazz fans who attended the 2009 Jacksonville Jazz Festival! Attendees braved the rain to experience renowned jazz performances and activities along the Laura Street Corridor, The Jacksonville Landing, Hemming Plaza, Snyder Memorial Church, the Times-Union Center for the Performing Arts, downtown businesses and vacant buildings.
This FREE festival was transformed into a vibrant setting with multiple stages of entertainment, Art in the Heart Downtown Art Show & Sale, Wine Down Tasting Experience, Generation Next Youth Talent Competition, children's educational activities, jazz exhibits and movies. Other festival highlights includes the Jacksonville Jazz Piano Competition, 'Round Midnight Jazz Jam, Jazz Talk, CHOPS Documentary and Sunday Jazz Brunches.

I'm getting antsy! I can't wait to see what this new "shake up" brings. The use of umbrellas? More to drink than just bottled Coke products? Bela Fleck and the Flecktones?
Thank you again! I had an amazing time! The weather was amazing. Speaking of the weather.. is it just me, or did it seem like Terence Blanchard was controlling it? It was magical.. and kind of creepy.. *laugh* Oh.. and Poncho Sanchez.. was FABULOUS!! Thanks so much! I'm counting the days until the next time.
Thanks Guys, just trying to work more w/ my own band. i'll try to put something together for the next season Jacksonville jazz fest. The best luck w/ the jazz fest this year and the piano competition contestant's. Best Regards, Benito Gonzalez.
