Reaching the milestone of the "12th Annual" is a major achievement for any music festival, and we plan to celebrate in style with a very exciting lineup of top-notch jazz musicians. If you're already a big jazz fan, we have a favor to ask - bring along a few friends who don't yet know they are jazz fans. There's a lot of free music, the setting is the fabulous Mears Park in downtown St. Paul and the whole event is world class. Your jazz-fans-to-be friends will thank you, and we'll share and grow this wonderful music event with more people then ever! Fans of saxophone, guitar and trumpet will really be rewarded at the 2010 Festival. From superstars Joe Lovano and John Scofield to the young John Ellis (who features Jason Marsalis on drums); from trumpet master Sean Jones to the return of the Ronny Loew Band ... I promise you, all music lovers will be impressed. The Twin Cities Jazz Festival has grown over the past 12 years through the vision and support of our contributors, partnerships and the City of St. Paul. We thank them, all of our great volunteers, our production crew, our Board and all the others who help make this festival happen. Steve Heckler
