The count now stands at 21 bands scheduled to play for the third
annual Glendale Jazz Festival on June 28 organized by the Kiwanis
Club of Glendale.
The "World of Jazz" will be from noon to 11 p.m. at Glendale
Community College.
Every style of jazz will be presented -- from smooth and
straight-ahead sounds to Latin, from intimate blues to Chicago jazz,
and from Dixieland to 1940s and 1950s swing.
Louis Cruz Beltran is bringing his sizzling Latin jazz sounds to
this year's festival. Yve Evans will play intimate blues, while the
Jennifer York Quartet will entertain straight-ahead jazz lovers. The
Swingin' Deacons and the Heddon Street Band will offer smooth jazz.
To wrap it all up, Hoover High School's Jazz Ensemble and the
Glendale College Jazz Band and Choral Presentation also will perform.
Tickets are $25, $10 for students with identification and free for
children younger than 12. Tickets are $60 for the gourmet
dinner/entry pass, which has seatings open at 3:30 p.m., 5:30 p.m.
