Jazz fans from all over the country will converge on Madison one more time to hear non-stop jazz at the 30th—and final—Capital City Jazz Fest sponsored by the Madison Jazz Society. It will be held at the Wyndham Garden Hotel, 2969 Cahill Main, Fitchburg. This year’s event will feature jazz artists from all over the country performing a broad range of jazz styles, along with some special events to ensure that the Fest “goes out with a bang.”
More than 400 jazz fans are expected to attend four sessions over the three days of the Fest: Friday, April 27 from 6:30 until 11 PM; Saturday, April 28 from 11 AM until 4 PM and from 6 until 11 PM; and Sunday, April 29 from 11:30 AM until 4 PM. In addition, a free kick-off concert will be held on Thursday, April 26 from 7 until 11 PM and free jazz concerts will be presented at the Fitchburg Senior Center and Lilliana’s on Friday.
All of the bands performing have appeared at the Fest in past years and are returning to close out the Fest’s 30-year run. The Buck Creek Jazz Band began by playing jazz parties on Buck Creek Road in Temple Hills, Maryland. The band specializes in interpretations of early musical pioneers, presenting a variety of more than 2,300 tunes. They appeared at the 1994 Fest when seven inches of snow fell in May!
