The biggest jazz event of the summer is finally upon us – the 37th annual Columbus Jazz and Rib Festival! This year’s event takes advantage of the newly revitalized Scioto Mile by relocating to both sides of the Scioto River in Bicentennial, West Bank and Genoa Parks. This return to a familiar location will feature three days of award-winning ribs and world class jazz on Friday, July 22nd (11am – 11pm), Saturday, July 23rd (11am – 11pm), and Sunday, July 24th (11am – 8:30pm). This year’s schedule features renowned headliners on all three stages including BWB (Norman Brown, Kirk Whalum, Rick Braun), Tower of Power, Doc Severinsen & Byron Stripling, Dirty Dozen Brass Band, Poncho Sanchez & His Latin Jazz Band, and Arturo O’Farrill And The Latin Afro-Jazz Octet, as well as Columbus stars including Tony Monaco, Safety Squad, Dwight Lenox, and fo/mo/deep among many others. A complete schedule of live jazz performances for the weekend follows.
