It can run for a day for a weekend or a week but it runs continuously. We invite people to come to it from all over the world, from all over our country and our state, but it is still a party for us, for each other. And the Festival, like a good party, makes us happy; happy to be together in this beautiful city. We are all guests at our own party and we are all hosts. We want everyone to enjoy themselves. And how can we help it when we have this uniquely graceful city space in which to have an outdoor festival? Every year the party grows and still we have room for thousands more people to celebrate with us what is best and most delightful, most challenging, provocative and exciting about each other; our artistic traditions and aspirations, our achievements and our talent to have plain old fun. Although we have some pretty spectacular guests at the Festival this year from all over the world, the reality is that we are each of us the life of the party. Glad you came!"

The saxophone works much like water, adapting to its environment while also reflecting the world around it. Nowhere is this more true than in Liquid Horn, led by acclaimed saxophonist and flutist Jenny Hill. Liquid Horn also features the voice of Nilda Richards, • a.k.a. Sister Love, who uses her rich voice to create spoken word, or jazz poetry that brings out the flavor in the group's songs. Simultaneously, Hill draws from her background in jazz, funk, and hip ra ce hop to fill the grooves of the pieces and spits out funky and fierce improvisations.

Jenny Hill has played with Cab Calloway, Clark Terry, and the all-female groups Diva and Burning Brass. Hill was among the winners of the JAZZIZ Woodwinds erre~"· On Fire Contest, and can be heard on the sound­ track for the hit film Money Train.

The Times en se mb Ie" Chicago Tribune \ I

Egberta Gismonti first aspired to play and compose in the European classical tradition, leaving his native Brazil to study with Nadia Boulanger in Paris. At her prompting, though, he returned home and immersed himself in Brazilian musical influences, including the samba school and the world of the Xingu Indians of the Amazon. He brought these "primitive" resources together with "so­ phisticated" Western European traditions to create works that beautifully blend the line between folklore, classical heritage, and jazz. The result is music that is as deep ly con­ nected to Brazil and Gismonti's profound love for its diversity as it is universal.

During the week of the Festival each of the top four finishers from each Preliminary Slam compete in the Final Slam. This night of high voltage rhyming and reciting also includes a reading by the Connecticut Slam Team going to this year's National Poetry Slam Championships, and the unveiling of graffiti art by teenage artists from New Haven.
