ABOUT THE SAN FRANCISCO JAZZ FESTIVAL
“San Francisco Jazz Festival makes bold debut with expanded format, big ambitions” (SF Chronicle). Read: sfchronicle.com/entertainment/article/san-francisco-jazz-festival-20317127.php
“The city plays host to what London’s The Observer has called the ‘biggest and probably the best jazz festival in the world.’ Since its inaugural program in 1983, the San Francisco Jazz Festival has been a place to witness both time-honored traditions and the kind of innovation and disregard for convention that is inherent to the spirit of jazz.” (Visit California)
