The legendary Five Points Jazz & Blues Festival
America’s most historical music movement has some strong history right here in Denver. Our very own Five Points was often referred to as the "Jazz Mecca" of the American West; Louie Armstrong, Billie Holliday, Duke Ellington, and Nat King Cole among those who frequented the area, and to this day the community has not lost touch with those roots. All this week the legendary After 5 Jazz & Blues Festival in the Historic Five Points takes the neighborhood over in a barrage of soul, blues and smooth tunes that literally ring in the Democratic National Convention.
Metromix was there over the weekend to catch the opening sets, and we quickly discovered the sounds are just one of the many attractions of the cool culture. Outside the Obama fever sweeping the grounds, there is food, drink, and shopping not found anywhere else in the State.
The week is full of some of the best in the biz and provides a cultural retreat among the political madness. For a full schedule click here.
