Jazz City Latin Jazz Festival in Humboldt Park
July 14, 2017 @ 4:00 pm - 10:00 pm
Dizzy Gillespie’s 1947 trip to Cuba is widely considered to have sparked the fusion of music now called Latin Jazz. The festival will celebrate Dizzy’s 100th with top Latin Jazz artists from Chicago and some very special guests.
JazzCity is a free concert series initiated in 1997 by the Jazz Institute in collaboration with the Chicago Park District, now in its 20th season of bringing people together from across the city to listen to Chicago’s top jazz musicians.
