The 20th annual Lansing JazzFest, scheduled for August 1st and 2nd, 2014, is a free, 2-day festival of great, new, live music as performed by national, regional, and local jazz artists.

What sets the Lansing JazzFest apart from other, similar music festivals is that, at Lansing JazzFest, the artists are asked to perform at least one original composition they’ve never played live before. So, while you may still hear jazz standards and favorite themes, you’ll also be treated to not just live but living music – new compositions that may become the classics of the future, springing to life right before you!
