Local guitarist Julian Lage and the genre-spanning Bill Frisell open the 2018 Healdsburg Jazz Festival on Friday, June 1, to kick off 10 days of great jazz for their 20th Anniversary.
Other artists on the first weekend include the Fred Hersch Trio and Trio da Paz, with guests Anat Cohen and Claudia Villela, saxophonist and flutist Charles Lloyd performing with Zakir Hussain, Gerald Clayton, Eric Harland, and others. John Santos, Adam Theis, the Marc Cary Trio, the George Cables Trio, and many more will play during the week.
The second weekend includes a special “Celebrating Geri Allen” with Ravi Coltrane, Dave Holland and Terri Lyne Carrington, and the Festival All-Stars with Bobby Watson, David Weiss, Billy Hart, and guest Chico Freeman — plus our traditional finale, “A Night in New Orleans.”
