FIRST ANNUAL RIVERWEST JAZZFEST – FREE TO ATTEND!

Riverwest is home to one of the most significant, still operating historic jazz clubs in the country, now called the Jazz Gallery Center for the Arts. In the 1970s and 80s, the Milwaukee Jazz Gallery, as it was known then, featured performances by a dazzling lineup of many of the most significant musicians in jazz history. With great respect for these pioneers of jazz, contemporary jazz isn’t an art form that recycles the past but a dynamic evolving collaboration of inventive musicians whose music mirrors the present while creating the new future. Be a part of this new future with the first-ever Riverwest Jazzfest.

The Riverwest Jazzfest will feature some of the best musicians and groups in the Midwest.
