The selected list combines past concert sites with many new ones, allowing jazz lovers to explore wonderful community venues. "People love to attend their own neighborhood concert, but also enjoy exploring other areas around the metro all while taking in our amazing local talent," said Dusty Rauschenberg, Metro Arts Alliance's Chair of the Board of Directors. "We are very pleased to partner with these terrific sites to bring great jazz "live" in their neighborhood."
A list of bands selected to perform at each site will be announced within the next few weeks. All Jazz in July concerts are free thanks to the generous support of its sponsors.
