   For the third year running, The K-State Student Union Program Council 
and a coalition of partners are working together with Arts in the Park 
to produce the Little Apple® Jazz Festival. The festival, which will be 
held from approximately 5 pm-11 pm on Saturday, July 14, 2007 at the 
City Park’s Bandshell, unites people through their common love of Jazz 
music.

   Last year’s festival attracted 2,200 people and the 2007 festival is 
predicted to attract more than 5,000 people! The festival also aims to 
attract out-of-towners to show off Manhattan, Kansas -- the Little 
Apple ®!

There will be between six and eight bands including a traditional Jazz 
band, a contemporary Jazz band, a Latin Jazz/Salsa band, perhaps a 
Reggae, Funk, Blues, or R&B band, and a headliner.

The headlining bands for the 2005 and 2006 festivals were Kevin 
Mahogany and Kathy Kosins, respectively. There are two stages at the 
festival, including an emerging artist stage.

  Compensation for bands will range from $100-$5,000 and travel and 
lodging costs are negotiable.


   The partners for this year’s Little Apple® Jazz Festival include 
Midnight Blue Jazz Inc., International Association for Jazz Education, 
Ag Press, Dow Multicultural Resource Center, Bowman Bowman Novick, 
Inc., and The Manhattan Convention and Visitors Bureau.
