Jazz on the Menu returns, 2/2/12

For the second year, the Healdsburg Jazz Festival will present dinner at not one, not two, but 15 local restaurants — with different jazz musicians at each one — all to benefit our Education Programs.

Meal seatings 6 – 9 pm on Thursday, Feb. 2.  View all participating restaurants and performing musicians.

Again, the hot spot will be the After-Party at Costeaux - which the PD’s Chris Smith reports is Tony Bennett’s favorite Healdsburg restaurant – with jazz, wine and desserts. This year tickets are only $10, and are now on sale.

Helping Jazz Musicians in Need

The California Jazz Foundation is a charitable, nonprofit organization created to aid and assist California jazz musicians in financial or medical crisis. Since 2006, they have touched the lives of countless jazz musicians though medical, dental, housing, preventative care and even instrument replacement. It’s a worthy endeavor, and we encourage your support.

We had a great time… 
How Was the Festival for You?

A couple of Comments from readers of this website are worth your attention. Paul Taylor left two recently, one on 2011 Festival Schedule); and one a jazz lover’s addendum to Jazz 101 for Everyone).

Curtis Thompson, a long associate of HJF whose fine photography we always appreciate, also weighed in on 2011 Festival Review with a lengthy appreciation. Thanks, to these and others  others who leave comments and help the Healsburg Jazz Festival with such energy, enjoyment and value for our organization and the music we share.
