The Hudson Valley Jazz Festival
Swings Into Gear
Thursday, August 17th to Sunday, August 20th

Broad reaching in it's geography and style. From traditional to gypsy jazz, modern, be-bop, acoustic and funky electric.

Featured show with  guitarist
 Jeff Ciampa of Warwick and  keyboardistPete Levin of Woodstock together with ex-Miles Davis and Return to Forever drummer Lenny White, saxophonist Alex Foster from Saturday Night live and Ira Coleman, formerly with Tony Williams on Saturday Aug 19, 8 PM at The Warwick Community Center.

But the continued thrust of this series is to highlight the great many Hudson Valley local artists who's talent in many cases is on par with these marque name jazz musicians. Warwick, Newburgh, Nyack, Greenwood Lake, Blooming Grove, Chester, Goshen, Peekskill and SugarLoaf all participate.
Shows take place in an outdoor courtyard, B&B, cafes, clubs, restaurants, community centers, organic farms, art workshop spaces and housing development performance rooms.

Most shows are free, those with a fee are modestly priced.
