So are we. In the best way possible of course! Over the years, the Jazz Fest has stretched &#8220;jazz&#8221; to mean everything from hip hop to folk, but always keeping many outstanding jazz and blues performances. Not only has this maintained\u00a0the festival&#8217;s size and popularity, but also increased it. And hey&#8211;\u00a0no one&#8217;s complaining. \u00a0This year, the festival welcomes over 200 shows: some free, some pricey, some jazzy, and some.. less so. What we can say is that the event programmers are musical omnivores with an intelligent (and passionate) appetite. In the list below, we tried to offer up some variety between the festival&#8217;s strong points: accessibility, quality, and diversity.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=X61BVv6pLtw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1.
