 Jazzy summer nights |
1910 University Drive (BSU Centennial Amphitheatre) Boise, ID 83725 United States +1 208 426 3310 http://www.jazzstar.com jim@boisebands.com |
Jazzy tunes drift over the Boise River during this annual July festival. Hosting jazz greats such as Pete Christlieb and Allen Vizzutti, the festival also offers a clinic program for young jazz musicians around the Treasure Valley. All concert proceeds go back into the clinic. Past performers have included Ernie Watts, Bob Mintzer, Jeff Jarvis, Chuck Findley and Don Menza. The headliners may change, but Boise's own Riverside Jazz Orchestra, providing toe-tapping big band accompaniment, is a constant. Review © 2007, Wcities |
