All concerts will be held at the Provincetown High School one block from Town Hall with parking behind the school. For 2010, the festival will celebrate the survival and revival of New Orleans Jazz as we commemorate the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. Representing New Orleans will be Paul Sanchez who was born in New Orleans and has lived and worked there most of his life. He and his family survived Hurricane Katrina and Paul lost much of his written music in the flood. His new CD Farewell To Storyville has just been released on Threadhead Records. Paul Sanchez’s trip is sponsored by Threadhead Records, a fan-funded and volunteer run record company dedicated to helping New Orleans musicians rebuild their lives. A portion of the proceeds from the Jazz Festival will be donated to the New Orleans Musicians Clinic & Assistance Foundation which provides a health clinic for the uninsured jazz musicians and artists in New Orleans, and was founded and is directed by Bethany and Johann Bultman of Provincetown and New Orleans. The festival will also feature a faculty trio (piano, bass and drums) from the Berklee School of Music and they will accompany two students on sax & trumpet as we kick off the Berklee Rising Stars segment, new to the festival. Also appearing at the festival will be Greg Abate, Dane Vannatter, Janice Friedman, Steve Ahern, and many more. |
