Chicago Jazz Festival: Celebrating 40 Years (2018)

To celebrate the 40th anniversary, our hope was to be able to put together a festival that could look back on some of the great moments of Chicago jazz and in the festival’s history, but not dwell on that and really look forward with some newer artists and artists who have never appeared in Chicago or at least at the Chicago Jazz Festival.
