The Fourth Annual Davis Jazz Artists Festival: Beyond the Beat Generation, occurring on October 8th and 9th, marks a significant collaboration between local and national jazz musicians, visual artists, poets, students and the business community while serving as an educational event for younger artists and musicians. The event has proved to be a successful and major fundraiser for The Davis High School Jazz Band, consistently drawing over 3,500 people to Downtown Davis on perfect fall afternoons. This event is free to the public and is a fun and educational experience to all ages of the community.
Whether you’re looking for the haunting tones of a jazz chanteuse, the sounds of cutting edge, or hard-driving big bands, or classical jazz combos—or just a great cultural experience, surrounded by music and art, The Davis Jazz Artists Festival: Beyond the Beat Generation will deliver it all. Created to promote collaboration between music and the visual arts, this festival will serve as an educational event for younger artists and musicians and will benefit the Davis High School Band Program. Fun for the whole family, the Davis Jazz Festival will offer interactive activities including a kids n’ clay workshop and a hands-on painting wall.
On October 9th, Andy Jones of the Poetry Night Reading Series and “Dr. Andy’s Poetry and Technology Hour” on KDVS will be the host of the Poetry Stage at the Boy Scout Cabin.
