Get ready for a fabulous week
of WORLD-CLASS JAZZ!
The 19th Annual Amelia Island Jazz Festival will explode
with exciting swinging jazz, played with passion, expertise,
and soul by many of today’s leading jazz artists October 2–9,
2022. This year’s headliners are clarinetist/saxophonist, Ken
Peplowski, and world-renowned guitarist and singer, Grammy
Award winner, John Pizzarelli. Back by popular demand is the
Trio Caliente which will keep everyone dancing to Flamenco,
Pop and Brazilian Jazz. This festival provides a rich, diverse
cultural offering to the Amelia Island area by exposing thousands
of people of all ages and backgrounds to the sounds,
excitement, and vitality of great jazz - a uniquely American art
form. Music is performed by jazz greats as well as fresh,
up-and-coming young talent. Performances are staged in
several venues around Amelia Island: Courtyard | Springhill
Suites by Marriott, Sadler Ranch, The Decantery, Mocama Beer
Company and new this year, the Fernandina Beach
Recreation Center.
The cornerstone of the festival is its Educational Programs
ed by Les DeMerle, the Festival’s Artistic Director. These
programs include Jazz in Schools, Jazz for Kids and Jazz for
Seniors. The festival’s educational programs culminate in
the Amelia Island Jazz Festival Scholarship. This financial
award goes to deserving high school musicians who
demonstrate strong potential to perform jazz at the
collegiate level.
With this amazing line-up the shows will most likely
sellout quickly.
