For the past several years, a small group of local music enthusiasts has been working to promote the enjoyment of a true American art form: jazz music. The non-profit Fort Wayne Jazz & Blues Festival, Inc. has announced plans for the 2004 Jazz & Blues Festival, which will feature national, regional and local jazz/blues performers. Hopefully, the community will rally around this effort to promote the arts and local talent.
The year's festival is scheduled for Friday, August 6 and Saturday, August 7 at Headwaters Park. The show will feature Huntington native Denny Jiosa, Better Than Chocolate and the Troolee Dangerous Blues Revue. Saturday's lineup will include national jazz recording artist Peter White, Big James & The Chicago Playboys, and Fort Wayne's own Ty Causey.
Fine dining will be available along with beer and wine.
