Proposed Stages for SLO Jazz FestivalSeptember 24 & 25, 2010 in DOWNTOWN San Luis Obispo, CA. OPENING NIGHT: Location: PERFORMING ARTS CENTER (proposed) We are seeking a major performance presence to open the SLO Jazz Festival at the Performing Arts Center at Cal Poly, SLO. Details will be forthcoming. MAIN STAGE: Location: MISSION PLAZA (secured) We are pleased to announce that our Jazz Headliner stage will be Mission Plaza for the 1st Annual Jazz Festival. Proposed acts include jazz legends, regional up-and-comers, and some of the finest local bands and musicians in the SLO County area. The Mission Plaza will also house our exhibitors for jazz art, art, food, and beverages, the ticketing booths, merchandise, and more! COURT STREET STAGE: Location: Court Street Plaza (2nd level, proposed) Featuring some of SLO's finest straight ahead jazz ensembles, this stage will range from trios to fuller sized jazz groups, featuring be-bop, straight-ahead, cool jazz, and other standard jazz formats. SALSA STAGE Location: DT BREW (proposed) Put on your dancing shoes and join in on the fun at the Salsa Stage. Salsa music is huge in California, and the diverse, ethnicity combines with hot and sexy music to sizzle the streets and heat up the dance floor! Featuring top touring salsa bands from Northern and Southern California, this stage is sure to be a delight for dancers and music lovers alike. SWING STAGE Location: MO TAV (proposed) Swingin' cats and cool hep-kat kitties will be swirling and twirling at the fun at the SWING Stage. Featuring top local and touring swing bands (you'd be surprised at the talent right here in SLO), this stage will be a delight for old-timers as well as the modern swing dancers. CITY HALL STAGE Location: City Hall Lawn (proposed) Looking for cutting edge jazz? Something beyond the norm? You'll find it at the beyond jazz stage. We're featuring fused acts that combine duality (dj/mc combined with standard jazz), ethnic (world) beats, funk-jazz, and other leading futuristic jazz sounds. Definitely a hit with the musicians and people looking to explore future directions of music AND dig the local impressionistic free art in SLO. This stage will also be the featured LATE-NIGHT stage, with music running into the evening and may even combine music jams with art-jams. It is sure to be a highlight for people seeking interactive and free experiences. RESTAURANT/NIGHT CLUB STAGES Location: We're looking for additional stages at local night clubs and restaurants who want to feature live music throughout the festival and gain additional patronage and exposure as a result of sponsoring the Jazz Festival. Get involved and help show your support. It's good for business, good for SLO, and good for expanding your marketing reach outside of SLO, too. EDUCATOR STAGES Location: TBD (hopefully places like The Little Theatre) Our objective here is to have break-out sessions by world-leading and inspiring musicians, to do talks and education sessions to share what they know with our community and jazz festival attendees. This is an opportunity for the youth and other stages to get more involved in jazz, latin, and world music and become a part of the growing music center thriving in San Luis Obispo. More information is coming as to how the stages will come together. Contact us at info [at] slojazzfest.org for more details. |
