It’s
simple: Aspen/Snowmass will be jazzed, rocked, stirred, salsa’d, wired
and souled out …. with one of the most diverse summers of great music
in Jazz Aspen Snowmass (JAS) history, as the organization kicks off its “next 20 years.” JAS
is pleased to announce the lineup for its 2011 summer season, along
with new ticket pricing options offering great discounts to early
purchasers of Labor Festival tickets!
The
JAS June Festival returns to the spectacular Benedict Music Tent with a
jazz soaked festival that will feature the first ever appearances by
two of the reigning Diva’s of pop & soul music: multiple Grammy
Winner Sheryl Crow (June 25) and Academy Award & Grammy Award Winner Jennifer Hudson
(June 26), each exploring the roots of American music in jazz, R&B
and soul. The festival opens on June 24 with Guitarist/Vocalist Raul Midon
(last heard at JAS with Herbie Hancock in ’07) along with a strong dose
of world music through the prism of jazz from Africa with Richard Bona. Midon and Bona open a fiery double bill with Monty Alexander’s Harlem – Kingston Express, two side by side bands, one Jamaican one American jazz, exploring the music of Bob Marley. To continue, please click “MORE”!
