Now in its 20th year, the Isthmus Jazz Festival is a four-day celebration of
America's homegrown art form. The free festival kicks off the summer season
in one of Madison's most beautiful outdoor settings, the Memorial Union
Terrace, with Lake Mendota as a glittering backdrop. A diverse crowd of
students, jazz aficionados and casual fans fill the tables to hear a lineup
that reflects a century's worth of jazz styles. Dixieland, big-band swing,
bebop, Latin jazz and free jazz are all part of the mix, along with
contemporary derivations like funk and hip-hop. The festival is committed to
honoring jazz's glorious tradition while keeping one eye fixed on the
future.
