Jazz'SAlive Commemorates 25th Anniversary
How would you celebrate 25 years of live, free Jazz? If you said world-class, Grammy-award winning legends the likes of Dave Brubeck--then you’d be talking about the 25th Anniversary of the Jazz’SAlive in Travis Park. Each year Jazz’SAlive brings a roundup of stellar performers to the City’s historic Travis Park. Jazz’SAlive, co-sponsored by the San Antonio Parks Foundation and the City of San Antonio will be held in Travis Park on Saturday and Sunday, September 20 and 21. Best of all, admission to Jazz’SAlive is absolutely free. And because free festivals are becoming harder to find, it’s even more important for Jazz’SAlive to be backed by local, community-oriented organizations such as Budweiser, H-E-B, the St. Anthony Hotel, KENS-TV, and Rio San Antonio Cruises.
Want to celebrate this commerative Quarter-Century Milestone in style? The St. Anthony Hotel will offer a special Jazz’SAlive Vacation Package which includes upgraded parkview accommodations, breakfast for two, a bottle of wine or champagne and a deluxe whole fruit and cheese platter. Call 1-800-Wyndham for reservations.
Local artist Robert Tatum is back as the Jazz’SAlive 2008 poster artist. Tatum
, a visual artist with an emphasis on contemporary art, bright colors and almost cartoonish creatures, had previously created the artwork for Jazz’SAlive’s 20th Anniversary. Tatum is also the innovator behind San Antonio’s eclectic Contemporary Art Month. The Jazz’SAlive 2008 commemorative poster can be purchased at the event, by calling the Parks Foundation office at 210-212-8423, or online.
Don’t forget we will also offer the elegant Starlight Salute to Jazz’SAlive Gala on Friday, September 19, as well as the exciting Jazz’SAlive Champagne Brunch on Sunday, September 21. To purchase tickets to either of these events, please visit our website or call 210-212-8423.
