The Riverside Jazz Party, hosted by Jeff and Carol Loehr, took place over the weekend of June 3-5, 2016 in Boise, Idaho. In the words of Jeff Loehr, “In an era of only seeing festivals close their doors, it is virtually unheard of to see something brand new birthed. It really was the most remarkable 3 days of music that I have witnessed in the 28 years I have been a part of this music scene.”
A week after the jazz party, Jeff wrote, “Both Carol and I hope you are still enjoying the afterglow of the wonderful music last weekend. We are grateful for each and every one of you who came to kick off this new event with us, and how excited we are at the response we have had.
“We also recorded all the sessions in the event they could ever be engineered onto CD or MP3.
“In truth, the Jazz Party was the most fun and the best music Carol and I have enjoyed in decades. We are glad you were there too. Who knows, maybe in 30 years we can say we have attended them all!!
“As to the next Jazz Party, we will have a meeting with the Riverside soon. After we have set the date we will contact you about tickets for next year before they are released to the general public. Please be ready to let us know how many spots you would like to reserve, as we expect the next Riverside Jazz Party Weekend to sell out well in advance.”
