An afternoon of free music, featuring nationally known jazz artists. This year's line-up at our festival includes; Eguie Castrillo and the Latin Jazz Connection, Laszlo Gardony Sextet, JoAnne Brackeen, Nnenna Freelon featuring the Ron Savage Trio: Celebrating Billie Holiday.

"This is an unbelievable line-up, some of the top performers in the jazz world, and we are delighted that the whole festival is free to the public," says festival co-founder Larry Ward.

The Cambridge Jazz Festival (CJF) is a nonprofit, volunteer-run organization that produces free concerts throughout the year, and offers scholarships for young musicians through the Johnny Hodges Fund, which was established to provide opportunities for
young aspiring musicians. The CJF aims to be the catalyst for a lasting, sustainable Culture of Jazz in Cambridge.
