Capital City Jazz Fest's Bria Skonberg

Madison’s Jazz Society puts on its 30th annual – and final, apparently – Capital City Jazz Fest. It runs Saturday, April 27th through Monday, April 29th. As usual, the lineup of jazz musicians includes names from all over the country. This last event will feature jazz artists from all over the country performing a broad range of jazz styles, along with some special events, ensuring that the Fest “goes out with a bang.”

More than 400 jazz fans are expected to attend four sessions over the three days of the Fest: Friday, April 27 – 6:30 – 11pm; Saturday, April 28 – 11am – 4pm and 6 – 11pm and Sunday, April 29 – 11:30am – 4pm. In addition, a free kick-off concert will be held on Thursday, April 26 from 7 – 10pm and free jazz concerts will be presented at the Fitchburg Senior Center and Lilliana’s on Friday.

All of the bands performing have appeared at the Fest in past years and are returning to close out the Fest’s 30-year run. In addition to the music, the fest’s Jazz Mall will have books, records, CDs, videos, jazz clothing and souvenirs for sale throughout the event.

All Fest sessions on Friday, Saturday and Sunday are sold out. Jazz fans can attend the kick-off event, a non-ticketed free event, on Thursday. For more information, call (608) 850-5400 or go to madisonjazz.com.
