Not just banjos and pizza! Sacramento annual Jazz Jubilee aggressively moves
beyond its Dixieland roots

In Sacramento, Memorial Day weekend means the annual Jazz Jubilee.
Ever since 1974, Sacramento has hosted one of the world's largest and most 
prestigious
international jazz festivals. Over the years, the Jazz Jubilee has been 
characterized
as a Dixieland festival; while that remains true to a degree, these days 
you'll hear
much more. Fans will find blues, zydeco, swing, ragtime and gospel, along 
with international,
mainstream and modern jazz.
