Jazz Week in Boston

From JazzBoston:

For nine days from April 26 to May 4, JazzBoston will shine the spotlight on hundreds of musicians of all generations who will be performing jazz of every style in venues throughout the Greater Boston area — from clubs, museums and churches to libraries, universities, hotels, and community centers. Jazz Week, Boston’s newest rite of spring, returns this year with another citywide celebration of the music that has made Boston a destination for artists and fans of every stripe.

Officially proclaimed by Mayor Thomas M. Menino and scheduled once again to tie into the Smithsonian Institution’s national observance of April as Jazz Month and Duke Ellington’s birthday on April 29, Jazz Week is directed and promoted by JazzBoston but produced independently by participating musicians, presenters, clubs, educational institutions, community centers, and other organizations. It is in every way the product of a collaborative effort by representatives of Boston’s entire jazz community, who have joined together to spread the word about the city’s vital jazz scene and keep it growing.
