The 2009 Festival closed with George Duke blowing the roof off of the historic, 80 year old Avalon Ballroom and included break-out performances from Cindy Bradley and Bernie Williams and more! The highlights of the 23rd Annual Catalina Island JazzTrax Festival are in picture form at jazztrax.com and in November, Art will once again recap this year's Festival with a Thanksgiving Weekend Special. Tickets for the 2010 Festival will go on sale that same weekend!

Whether you joined us this year or you'd  like a taste of one of the longest running Contemporary Jazz Festivals in the world, have a look at the Festival Picture galleries, you'll see Avalon, The Historic Casino Ballroom, Wrigley Ranch, the first ever JazzTrax Golf event with the Stars of Smooth Jazz, and the thirty artists that performed over three weekends on a magical Island 26 miles off the coast of Southern California... "in all the world, no place like this for Jazz"

Thank you to all that attended and to all of this year's Sponsors and Partners: Catalina Island Vacation Rentals, Alaska Airlines, Catalina Express, The Seaport Village Inn, The Avalon and Aurora Hotels, The Glenmore Hotel, The Santa Catalina Island Company, Catalina Chamber of Commerce and Visitors Bureau, and the many Radio Stations that air the JazzTrax Syndicated Radio Show across the Country.
