Join us in Telluride August 3-5, 2012

Telluride Jazz Festival is enjoying the 36th year of bringing world-class jazz to the town of Telluride. A not-to-be-missed musical event, Telluride Jazz Celebration has earned national and international favor for featuring the best in classic, mainstream, blues, Brazilian, African and Latin jazz music. Performances are staged outdoors in the daytime and in intimate clubs and historic concert halls at night. Telluride Jazz is in fact, a “Celebration” of the art, soul, history, and future of Jazz. We take immense pride in honoring jazz music’s finest artists, and strive to create a platform year round for the discovery of the new voices of today.
