Free Jazz in the Park Concert

The free annual Jazz in the Park concert series celebrates its 20th year with free concerts in May and June.
Allen Toussaint will kick off the series Saturday, May 9th at 8pm with tunes from his recently released album The Bright Mississippi. The CD comes close on the heels of Allen’s recent high-profile presence at the 2009 Grammy Awards where he was a featured interviewee in the Grammy Legends series. During the awards, Toussaint was honored with the prestigious Trustees Award and participated in the worldwide broadcast in a segment featuring Lil Wayne, Terence Blanchard and The Dirty Dozen Brass Band.
Seating for those with picnic baskets, blankets and low-back chairs will begin at 7 pm. Food vendors will also be available on site. Parking is free.
