The Logan Center Bluesfest, held October 13–15, 2017, featured local and national musicians and artists in spaces throughout the Logan Center.

In conjunction with the Bluesfest, the Logan Center staged a juried exhibition called Chicago Jazz & Blues: A Photographer's View. Held in Café Logan, the exhibition celebrated Chicago’s vibrant jazz and blues scene and showcased the talents of Chicago area photographers whose work included original images of Chicago-based jazz and blues musicians.

Local jazz photographer Michael Jackson shot this astonishing photo of drummer Derrick "D'Mar" Martin taking flight mid-performance. The photo was taken during the Bluesfest Friday night concert performance by The Anthony Paule Soul Orchestra.
