The Old Webster Jazz and Blues Festival has announced the lineup for its 2007 event, which will be held from noon to 11 p.m. Saturday, September 15 on two outdoor stages in the Webster Groves business district near the intersection of Gore and Lockwood.Once again, the acts are split between jazz and blues - and interestingly, after a couple of years billing itself a jazz festival, which was never strictly the case, the event has gone back to its original, more accurate moniker.
Performers at the 2007 edition of the free event will include Wild Cool & Swingin' (pictured), the New Orleans R&B cover band Gumbohead, the Webster University Faculty Jazz Band, singer Anita Rosamond, blues prodigy Marquise Knox, the SIU-E Faculty Jazz Ensemble, Joe Bozzi, the Webster Groves High School Jazz Band and David's Guitar Loft Jazz Fusion, an ensemble of local guitar students.
The festival's finale is billed as a tribute to the late blues/rock piano great Johnnie Johnson, who played the event several times before his passing; however, no personnel or other details of the tribute were announced.
