Frédéric joins Wynton Marsalis at Silver Spring Jazz Festival 2005

[Washington, DC, August 30, 2005] Silver Spring Jazz Festival - Frédéric Yonnet joins one of the most outstanding musicians of our generation, Wynton Marsalis, at the second annual Silver Spring Jazz Festival in Silver Spring, Maryland on Sept. 10, beginning at 2pm. Other performing artists include Silver Spring native Marcus Johnson, the Ron Holloway Group, and Carol Sloane.

The festival is dedicated to bassist, jazz legend and Silver Spring native Keter Betts, who died earlier this month. The festivities kick off with a showcase of local youth talent in a New Orleans- style parade through the city and a competition between the bands. The competition will be judged by Marsalis; Susan Jenkins, president of Jazz Alliance International; Ira Sabin, JazzTimes’ own founder and Chairman Emeritus; radio host Rusty Hassan; and radio personality Jacqui Allen. Check local listings or fredyonnet.com for exact performance times.
