Frank Malfitano Festival Quotations

People are extremely excited about the lineup. In the first place, people are thrilled that the festival is even happening, but beyond that collective sign of relief ... folks are incredibly excited about the number of jazz legends and artists we're presenting in 2005.

This was a very challenging year, but I'm very proud of this lineup. A lot of other jazz festivals have gone under, but not only are we alive, there are a lot of folks around the country who would pay to see this lineup.

We have different genres that are complementary to jazz and close to the idiom. This is the 37th outdoor music festival I've organized and I think it's going to be spectacular.
