CITY PARK JAZZ ANNOUNCES 2014 LINEUP
DENVER — City Park Jazz heads into its 28th season with a great lineup of FREE Sunday concerts in the park. Spanning 10 weeks across June, July and August, the collection of local musicians in this year’s lineup crosses cultures, styles and genres in a way that reflects the musical and cultural diversity of Denver.
“Our booking committee hit another homerun this year,” says Chris Zacher, president of the non-profit City Park Jazz Board of Directors. “We open with perennial favorite Hazel Miller, we have an exciting tribute to Freddy Rodriguez — who’s a Denver institution himself — and we’re closing out with Chris Daniels and the Kings, who are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year. We’ve got a great, eclectic mix of Latin, Creole and blues bands sprinkled in between.”
This season also features a new logo designed by local artist Michael King. “The logo was unanimously approved by the judging committee,” Zacher says. “It reflects so many of the things that make CPJ and Colorado great, and most importantly, looks awesome on a t-shirt.” See more of King’s work at www.velveteenrobot.com.
The season runs every Sunday evening starting June 1 from 6-8 p.m. The free concerts are staged on the pavilion in City Park.
