Fred and Mike,
Confusing, but 
there are two jazz festivals in Monterey:
--> "The Monterey Jazz Festival" -- 47th Annual in Sept. 2004
and
--> "Dixieland Monterey" -- 25th Annual in March 2005

Dixieland Monterey is a great festival. (Nice location!!!!!)
Hope to see some of you there.
Love and hugs,
Nancy
