Glendale Jazz Festival set for Friday, May 23

The 2008 Glendale Jazz Festival will take place from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Friday, May 23 on the lower parking lot of the Glendale City Hall complex, 424 N. Sappington Rd.

This year's event, hosted once again by jazz broadcaster Don Wolff, will have a decided New Orleans flavor, with sets from the traditional jazz band the St. Louis Stompers and the Louisiana-style funk and R&B group Gumbohead. Completing the musical lineup is Terry Thompson's Swing Alive band featuring singer Dean Christopher (pictured), who's known for his Rat Pack tribute show featuring musical impressions of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr. and others.

Admission is free, and food and beverages from Westwood Catering and Caitos Restaurant will be available for purchase. You can download a .pdf flyer for the event here.
