Tri-C JazzFest Cleveland

“Kudos to the crowd for being game and belying stereotypes about stuffy, sedentary, judgmental jazz heads.” Cleveland.com

The 44^th edition of Tri-C JazzFest was a banner year with the highest ticket sales in a decade and record-breaking crowds outside on the plaza. JazzFest brought Cleveland the world with artists from Benin and Cameroon to New Orleans. With iconic musicians such as Herbie Hancock and Trombone Shorty, crazy-good bass players like Richard Bona and Christian McBride, and singers such as Angélique Kidjo and Samara Joy, the audience was dancing in the aisles and responding with multiple standing ovations.
