The day-long festival is a chance to sample the Bay Area’s teeming musical scene.
John Holiday, Lara Downes, and LACO performed at Cicada’s Art Deco Ballroom on Oct. 4.
Under new leadership, the festival’s 68th edition featured jazz royalty and rising stars, with an impressive lineup of singers at the forefront.
The jazz pianist, who will perform in the Bay Area this October, left New York to home in on his musical identity.
