Jazz music just sounds better when it’s played outside, whether it’s underneath blue skies or the moon and stars. But that’s not to say jazz isn’t as good when it’s played at concert halls, ballrooms, cafes and other indoor venues — because it is.
During February, the heart of winter, great jazz festivals are going on coast to coast, some outdoors, others indoors where it’s certainly warmer this time of year. February offers a calendar full of jazz designed to help you break out of the winter blahs. These six festivals offer a blend of well-known, established artists with newcomers and veterans alike.
