The Clearwater Jazz Holiday

The Clearwater Jazz Festival - Held at Coachman Park on the shore of Clearwater, Florida every October, features a "loose" interpretation of "Jazz" and a star-studded line-up every year since 1989.

The Jazz Holiday has a VIP section at front for corporate sponsors and those that don't mind paying a little extra for deluxe accomodations including a buffet, drink tickets, special items (in 2008 it was a "best of that year's bands" CD) and very comfortable (by contrast to the ground) chair seating directly in front of the stage.

The Clearwater Jazz Holiday home page is here.

Last year the featured guests were:

Tony Bennett
David Sanborn
The Big Bad Voo Doo Daddies
Patti Austin

This year the featured guests were:

Al Jarreau
Chris Botti
Boney James
The Neville Brothers


There is a lot of satisfaction in volunteering:

  • The work isn't difficult

  • There's a great vibe

  • You get cool stuff

  • Did I mention? There's a great vibe

    • The Clearwater Jazz Holiday has been going on for three decades and is a pinnacle of the city's arts and recreation program.
