Wellington Jazz News
Foreword by Stu Grant
Hi, I'm Stu Grant, jazz radio personality in South Florida for over 35 years and the new MC for Wellington Jazzfest. I invite you to join us for the hottest new show in South Florida. It's February 10th and 11th at the International Polo Club in Wellington, Florida. To many of my dedicated LOVE 94 jazz listeners from years gone by, this is a great opportunity for you to catch up with the smooth jazz scene and show your support for an outstanding venue and musical lineup destined to become a fixture in the music landscape of our community.
On February 10th the Palm Beach Polo Club will come alive with sax greats Mindy Abair and Richard Elliot. They are joined by the fascinating trumpet player Cindy Bradley (latest jazz release Unscripted) along with South Florida's very own Nicole Henry. Join us on Saturday too and groove to the infectious beat of international favorite Conguero Sammy Figueroa with his hot group, Latin Jazz Explosion. Add to this mix David Pack, former lead singer from the band Ambrosia (way ahead of their time). Who could forget hits like You're the Biggest Part of Me, Holding On to Yesterday and How Much I Feel.
Don't miss it when jazz-blues guituar virtuosos Jeff Golub and Nick Colionne electrify the Wellington Jazz stage. This jazz festival stands to be one of the most memorable you've attended in years. Gather your friends and make a smooth jazz weekend of it.
Make sure to select one of the VIP Packages to get up close and personal with these top global artists. The meet and greets are always moments to remember. I look forward to seeing you there!!
