Vail Jazz Festival Presented by Gourmet - The Magazine of Good Living
Vail, Colorado, USA
Early SeptemberDescription
Nestled in the spectacular Vail Valley, the sixth annual Vail Jazz Festival Presented by Gourmet-The Magazine of Good Living- offers a relaxed atmosphere that both maximizes the comfort of guests and inspires exceptional performances.

About 25 musicians ranging fromsoloists to organized groups meet at the Marriott's Mountain Resort at Vail for more than 20 hours of world-class jazz. Each musician is featured daily, and the event's informality encourages plenty of improvisation and jamming. With cabaret seating in the Grand Ballroom of the Marriott each evening, outdoor performances in the Tented Pavilion each afternoon and the very popular Sunday morning Gospel Prayer Meetin' in the Tent , the Vail Jazz Festival is like no other musical experience.

And when you're not listening to excellent tunes or socializing with fellow jazz fans, take advantage of the beautiful surroundings by hiking, biking, golfing, fishing, shopping or just kicking back.
