Denver comes alive as top-flight jazz groups and musicians perform at this year's festival, which coincides with the convention. Included in the line-up are Eric Darius, Los Angeles DJ Jonathan Phillips, Poncho Sanchez, Arturo Sandoval, Dotsero, Erica Brown Blues Band, Hazel Miller and more. Five Points, the host neighborhood of the festival, was one of the West's premier spots for jazz from the 1920s to 1950s, welcoming legends such as Louie Armstrong and Billie Holiday. This rich musical tradition continues in August with this salute to jazz.
