Jazz Aspen Snowmass

June Festival

Jazz Aspen Snowmass is bringing the tunes back to downtown Aspen! From June 21st to 24th, 2007, don't miss Herbie Hancock, Madeleine Peyroux, Steve Winwood, The Black Crowes and others at Rio Grande Park in downtown Aspen.

Festival schedule:

6/21/07 (Thu)
7.00pm - Madeleine Peyroux
9.00pm - Herbie Hancock
(Will be joined by friends Larry Carlton, Terrence Blanchard, Cyro Baptista & Raul Midon)

Gifted with a natural affinity for songs, Madeleine Peyroux brings a wealth of life experience to her music in her 2006 album "Half the Perfect World". The bulk of her work on this album focuses on artists and writers from the lifetime of the 32-year-old artist, including Leonard Cohen, Tom Waits, Fred Neil and Joni Mitchell. Peyroux's knack for choosing the perfect song is a key to the emotional impact of her music.

Embracing the joys and sorrows of life, Angelique Kidjo's songs are a marriage of African and Western influences.
