Vail Jazz Festival Performances
The Vail Jazz Foundation's Summer of Jazz consists of several key performance series.
The Vail Jazz Festival is a summer-long celebration of America's musical gift to the world - Jazz. The Vail Jazz Foundation has created a different kind of festival experience - inspiring, engaging and easy going. The Summer of Jazz in Vail offers internationally acclaimed jazz ensembles and soloists as well as local and regional favorites. Audiences will enjoy The Clayton Brothers Quintet and Jeff Hamilton Trio. Solo performers include vocalist Ann Hampton Callaway, trombonist Wycliffe Gordon, B-3 player Tony Monaco, and guitarist Bobby Broom.
The Summer of jazz culminates with the traditional ‘Labor Day Weekend Party’ – a four-night, five-day celebration of jazz music at the Vail Marriott Mountain Resort --which attracts some of the greatest Jazz talent of the 21st century.
