[Dixielandjazz] 2012 Sacramento Music Festival - more Trad than most Trad festivals

[Nancy Giffin]

As trad. jazz festivals disappear across the country, it's important
to support any and all that feature traditional jazz -- even if there
are other kinds of music at the festival.

STJS MEMBERS are entitled to a discount until April 15th.
  They can purchase an All-Events badge for $95.

Here is info taken from the ARTISTS page of the 39th annual
Sacramento Music Festival.
