I hope some DJML folks might be in attendance.  I'm a member of the board 
for this festival (so is listmate Dave Haupt), and I'd love to say hello.

In the case of the Summit Jazz Allstars, the name says it all. Bucky 
Pizzarelli, Howard Alden, Ken Peplowski and Jerry Bruno are renowned 
musicians united with a common cause: playing traditional jazz at its best.

The Jim Cullum Jazz Band (San Antonio, TX), a cornerstone of Summit Jazz, is 
regularly heard on the jazz series, Riverwalk - Live from the Landing airing 
on more than 200 public radio stations across the country, including 89.3 
KUVO in Denver.

The New Black Eagle Jazz Band (Boston, MA) is hailed for its vast and 
diverse repertoire, performing numbers by the early New Orleans masters 
(King Oliver, Louis Armstrong and Jelly Roll Morton) as well as the music of 
Duke Ellington, Fats Waller and even some originals. Along with making many 
recordings, the band has played with the Baltimore Symphony, the Boston Pops 
Orchestra and the Scottish National Symphony.

With 27 recordings and numerous international tours, the Climax Jazz Band 
(Toronto, Canada) is known for their wide variety of tunes with lots of 
vocals and musicians who play straight from the heart with a great sense of 
humor. The British-style trad jazz is hot and tight, covering a wide 
repertoire of marches, blues, spirituals, ragtime and popular songs.

Two local favorites return to the Summit stage. The Alan Frederickson Jazz 
Ensemble appears for the fifteenth  time. The Arapahoe High School Dry Creek 
Dixie Dawgs, under the direction of Dr. Ed Cannava, returns for the eighth 
year and will make a single Sunday performance.

The Grand Ballroom at the Four Points Sheraton Denver Southeast provides 
cabaret type seating with excellent acoustics and unobstructed viewing along 
with dance floors and cash bars. Make a weekend of it -- the hotel offers 
special overnight rates for Summit Jazz patrons.
