Jazz is not dead - it just smells funny

Jazz isn't dead. It just smells funny.

This was a very challenging year, but I'm very proud of this lineup. A lot of other jazz festivals have gone under, but not only are we alive, there are a lot of folks around the country who would pay to see this lineup.

I didn't know much about Mabel because I was glued to the jazz musicians,

We have different genres that are complementary to jazz and close to the idiom. This is the 37th outdoor music festival I've organized and I think it's going to be spectacular.

All the good music has already been written by people with wigs and stuff.
