Plus the exciting Vijay Iyer Trio and more talents from all generations of jazz, from the very birth of the music to its latest expressions. Download the Festival brochure.

The first weekend we highlight the legendary heritage of Freddy Cole, playing two exclusive sets with JCB sparking wines at Barndiva, one of Healdsburg’s favorite venues. Yes he’s Nat’s younger brother, but he’s his own man – don’t miss this talented pianist and singer on Sunday, June 3. Details here.
Other headliners include guitarist Kenny Burrell, whose first recording date was with Dizzy Gillespie in 1951 and who is still going strong. He’ll be doing solo and trio sets at the Raven Performing Arts Theater on Saturday, June 9.
Michele Rosewoman, likened to “a piano goddess who has illuminated mysteries of the keyboard” in the program notes, fronts a star-studded concert at the Raven on Friday night, June 8, including Billy Hart on drums, Andy McKee on bass, and special guest Julian Priester on trombone.
