It's not complete, which is surprising since the jazz festival is only a month away, to be held June 19-26. For instance, both the Saturday and 2nd Sunday headliners are yet to be announced. And I'm not seeing big names here, as in years past. Unfortunately, that's probably a result of the festival having lost a lot of sponsor support (such as from The News Journal) in the past few years, in this economy. But I'm sure the acts the festival is getting this year will still be well worth the trek. And tickets remain free. Bands (because they're truly bands, and not individuals, this year) include Take 6, Ninety Miles, and Manifest 3.
One new touch with the festival this year is the dedication of the Clifford Brown Garden. I would hazard a guess that this will be in Rodney Square, but details haven't been made public yet. Possibly it will be a few blocks east, where Brown grew up.
