Local Newspaper Article-2009 Monterey Jazz Festival

Every year the city of Monterey hold a jazz festival lasting a weekend long. After celebrating the 52nd anniversary of having the jazz festival, this year proved to be one of the best. An article in the Monterey County Weekly named off just a few famous musicians that helped bring the amazement to the finale on Sunday. Not only were there several actual jazz players, but there also was a new twist, blues. Susan Tedeschi has a blues band, and she brought to the stage a powerful performance with her guitar based band. I believe that this is a truly amazing thing that the city of Monterey puts on every year. I think that it brings good life and entertainment to the streets, and it gives people a chance to experience the true beauty of the music and soul of jazz.
