The Great CT Traditional Jazz Festival is pleased to be joined this year  by the
 Connecticut Blues Society to present this 25th year's One Day Jazz and Blues Extravaganza

According to the USA Today April 13, 2011, the downturn in the economy affected 
the festival and concert industry all over the US last year.   However, also according
to the article, the festival sector is roaring back.

The number of bands that you hear at festivals are a bargain compared with a single
concert and "Consumers have shown they crave an immersive experience and the 'smorgasbord'
of bands that Festivals allow," says Ray Waddell, senior touring editor for Billboard.
 With these comments in mind, we look forward to a successful one-day Jazz and Blues
Extravaganza on July 30 .
This year there are be four top Blues bands from CT featured along with four Traditional
Jazz Bands at the Jazz and Blues Event.  Traditional jazz bands coming include the
well received band from previous CT Festivals, the twin brothers and a vibraphone,
The Midiri Brothers from NJ, the band well known by CT trad jazz fans, The Galvanized
Jazz Band with Fred Vigorito and Jane Campedelli, as well as the well loved Heartbeat
Jazz Band led by Bill Logozzo. The superb trad jazz musicians who come together 
specifically for this annual event from Massachusetts and New England, The Festival
All Stars with Scott Philbrick  will be the fourth trad jazz band performing from
3pm to 9pm in the tent.
The popular bands playing in the Blues Clubs in Hartford and all over CT include
 Basically Blues, Bluzberry Pi, Chris D'Amato, and Eran Troy Danner Band.  Blues
 have always been a part of the Trad jazz repertoire and it's appropriate that the
two should be sharing the stages in two venues, one a tent outdoors and the other
the ballroom of the Sheraton. The Blues will start at 5pm in the ballroom and play
until 11pm.
Tickets are  $30 before July 25 and $35 at the door and kids 7 to 17 only $6 (children
under 7 years old come in free).  Call 1-800-HOT-EVENt (or 1-800-468-3836) for tickets
or mail check payable to TGCTJF,  P.O. Box 296, Cromwell, CT 06416-0296.
