Indy Jazz Fest 2018

Indy Jazz Fest 2018
(English version below)

En estos días hemos estado dando a conocer sobre la invitación cursada a Jazz en Dominicana, a su vez al Oscar Micheli Trío para participar del Indy Jazz Fest 2018.

Que es el Indy Jazz Fest?
Festival de jazz que nace en Indianápolis, Indiana en el 1999. Fue creado por un grupo del centro de la ciudad de hospitalidad, cívicos y de negocios particulares como una manera de poner de relieve el rico patrimonio de jazz de Indianápolis a través de un evento anual. La esperanza era tener un evento de fin de semana turístico que estaba relacionada con las artes, a diferencia de los muchos eventos deportivos que se celebran cada año en Ia ciudad como son: el Indianápolis 500, el Brickyard 400 y un campeonato ocasional de la NCAA o un Super Bowl.

El primer evento presentó a: B. B. King, Isaac Hayes, Chaka Khan, Sonny Rollins, Los Lobos, Robert Cray, Branford Marsalis, George Benson, Chris Isaak y Freddie Hubbard, Slide Hampton, David Baker, Buddy Montgomery y Jimmy Coe. Se calculó una asistencia de más de 55,000 personas, entre participantes de 35 estados y siete países.

Varios años después los derechos de nombre fueron comprados por J. Allan Hall, Rob Dixon, quienes están involucrados en el sello Owl Records y David Allee propietario de The Jazz Kitchen. Los nuevos dueños reinventaron el Indy Jazz Fest como una organización sin fines de lucro y comenzaron a formular e implementar iniciativas de alcance educativo a lo largo de las Escuelas Públicas de Indianápolis. Los niños de todos los ámbitos de la vida han estado expuestos al jazz y otros géneros musicales a causa del trabajo de Indy Jazz Fest en la comunidad.

Indy Jazz Fest 2018 - English version
These last couple of weeks days we have been writing about the Indy Jazz Fest as Jazz en Dominicana received the invitation to participate and in turn take the Oscar Micheli Trio to play in at this year’s fest.

What is the Indy Jazz Fest? This Jazz festival that was born in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1999, created by a downtown group of hospitality, civic and business individuals as a way to highlight the rich jazz heritage of Indianapolis through an event annual. The idea was to have a weekend tourist event that was related to the arts, unlike the many sporting events that take place every year in the city such as the Indianapolis 500, the Brickyard 400 and an occasional NCAA championship or a Super Bowl.

The first event featured the likes of: B. B. King, Isaac Hayes, Chaka Khan, Sonny Rollins, Branford Marsalis, George Benson, Chris Isaak and Freddie Hubbard, and Slide Hampton, amongst others. An attendance of more than 55,000 was calculated, among participants from 35 states and seven countries.

Several years later the rights were purchased by J. Allan Hall, Rob Dixon, who are involved in the Owl Records label and David Allee, owner of The Jazz Kitchen. The new owners reinvented the Indy Jazz Fest as a nonprofit organization and began to formulate and implement educational outreach initiatives throughout the Indianapolis Public Schools. Children from all walks of life have been exposed to jazz and other musical genres because of Indy Jazz Fest's work in the community.
