Thousands of people are expected to endure the heat for Jazz Fest 2024, a free three-day concert in downtown Jacksonville.

The Jacksonville Jazz Festival kicks off Memorial Day weekend at Met Park and Daily's Place.  Tomas Jonsson won the 2023 Jazz Piano Competition.  After touring with his Tomas Jazz Trio, he returns to Jacksonville for a special performance."It is an honor to return to Jacksonville after a year with my Jazz Trio. I look forward to performing in an intimate setting like Breezy Jazz House. It will be much different from the pressure of competing in the Florida Theater or in front of thousands of jazz fans on stage at the festival. Breezy Jazz House is the premier jazz venue in Jacksonville, bringing nationally acclaimed jazz musicians and groups to perform in an elegant supper club atmosphere."    www.breezyjazzhouse.com
