What People Are Saying

Willard Jenkins
“As jazz music has evolved, with musicians from across the planet expressing the music through the prism of their own cultures, it has become one of the true world musics. Based in one of the great global cities, the DC Jazz Festival has since its inception presented music in the proud tradition of the International Language of Jazz.”
DCist
