  • Press Coverage That the Scranton Jazz Festival Has Received
    scrantonjazzfestival.org SCRANTON JAZZ FESTIVAL ABOUT This summer The Scranton Jazz Festival will celebrate its 11th year at the historic Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel and various downtown Scranton venues. Attracting international, national, and regional jazz/blues and world beat artists, the SJF has proven its true potential to become a long-term musical event. Only with your support, does the festival continue to have the opportunity for an enormous impact on the cultural and economic development of our region. Fostering America’s original art form, jazz, Scranton has a rich history, dating back to the 1930’s when two jazz legends, Tommy Dorsey and Jimmy Dorsey, performed regularly with the Scranton Sirens Jazz Band. Our area is also credited with hosting the first known recorded jazz festival, “The Cavalcade of Dixieland Jazz”, in 1951. Since its premiere in 2005 the festival has drawn audiences from the entire Mid-Atlantic region, resulting in tremendous notoriety and exposure to the international jazz world. The SJF can help revive our region as a cultural epicenter, spreading the arts throughout the northeast, no different than such festivals as Newport, Rhode Island; Saratoga Springs, Florida; and Monterey, California. With your generosity, to support this program, we will be able to significantly enrich our community and region. Your donation will help us to defer costs for production, artists fees, advertising, and promotional expenses. In addition, your contribution will enable us to receive matching funds, provided by local and state funding organiza- tions. Together, as a united team, we can make artistic magic happen for Scranton. How incredible would it be to see this festival, in time, be considered a major summer destination place for the jazz/blues and world beat community? Only with your help will that magic happen.

That caused only a minor setback at our brand new venue where the benefits outweighed any clouds and drizzle. All activities had been seamlessly moved indoors, which turned out to be a boon for one and all, with no missed notes. Dolan Hall proved to be a beautiful venue and the Jazz Lobsters easily fanned across its stage. The languid start to “Splanky” gave way to a crisp, sparking horn crescendo.
