Clearwater Jazz Holiday 2022

Our Past. Our Future.

Our Present.

Coachman park BayCare Ballpark

A tradition 43 years in the making!

The Clearwater Jazz Holiday famously started small – as a series of concerts on the back of a flatbed truck and at venues around Clearwater – and morphed into an annual, international music festival that draws tens of thousands of visitors each year to beautiful Coachman Park in Clearwater, against the backdrop of the Gulf of Mexico, and one of the world’s most stunning beaches. AND, while its waterfront venue is getting a head-to-toe makeover, the Clearwater Jazz Holiday and City of Clearwater have teamed up with the Clearwater Threshers  to present a one of a kind special presentation at BayCare Ballpark, just west of US Hwy 19. But truly: what defines Clearwater Jazz Holiday is not its location – it’s the incredibly talented artists who perform here and the thousands of people who flock to the event to groove on that amazing, live music.

The Clearwater Jazz Holiday music festival may be known for its widespread attendance in the Bay area each October, but the fun doesn’t stop after the festival’s final song. In fact, the popular event has a significant and sustained musical, cultural and economic impact that reaches into the Clearwater community and beyond all year-round.

Behind the beloved music tradition, now in its 43rd year, is the nonprofit organization the Clearwater Jazz Holiday Foundation, which produces the annual festival. The community’s attendance at and support of the Clearwater Jazz Holiday and similar events make the organization’s

work throughout the year in jazz education and outreach possible.

“The cultural impact can be felt throughout the entire year,” said Steve Weinberger, Clearwater Jazz Holiday Foundation CEO.

Let the music play on Justin-Lee Schultz will play at the Clearwater Jazz Holiday on Saturday, Oct. 15.

“The Clearwater Jazz Holiday Foundation fulfills its mission of being a leading proponent of jazz education by celebrating and promoting the art form, and it does that through innovative music appreciation and instructional programs, online resources, unique performance opportunities, special funding, and creative learning experiences that are all supported by the longtime annual festival tradition and

other events,” Weinberger said.

Some of the organization’s most popular year-round offerings include its outreach programs like History of Jazz and My Journey with Jazz. The former invites professional musicians into schools and other local groups, where they’re able to put on interactive musical performances and present the history of jazz to students and other members of the community. The latter is a music mentorship program

geared towards local students in underserved communities.

My Journey with Jazz connects these students with musicians and mentors in a game-type format, educating them about the legendary musicians and eras of jazz along the way, all culminating in students’ final presentations of what they’ve learned.

“Students are rarely exposed to the type and quality of this

also provides young, emerging musicians with opportunities to showcase their talents through its Give Them a Stage program. Case in point: At this year’s Clearwater Jazz Holiday festival, two of the opening acts, Justin-Lee Schultz on Saturday, Oct. 15 and Champ Jaxon on Sunday, Oct. 16, are under the age of 16.

Other Clearwater Jazz Holiday Foundation programs

particular outreach that not only educates but inspires musicianship and provides a special appreciation for jazz,” Weinberger said about the programs.

For students who are already interested in jazz and are inspired to play, the Clearwater Jazz Holiday Foundation offers instructional programs that help them elevate their skills and make meaningful connections. The organization

and offerings include the Young Lions Jazz Master Sessions, instrument donations and lessons, the Build-a-Guitar program, scholarships for high school seniors, the Stop-Time Series with Frank Williams, the Wanderlust Music Series and more.

“I’d (like) to wholeheartedly thank the community for helping to support and lift up this tradition over the years. Just know that when you attend the Clearwater Jazz Holiday, you’re supporting meaningful year-round education and outreach in our community,” said Weinberger.

A night of outstanding performances!

TROMBONE SHORTY & ORLEANS AVENUE

From performing with Bo Diddley at the tender age of 4 to touring with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, it’s safe to say that Trombone Shorty, born Troy Andrews, is no stranger to the stage.

AVERAGE WHITE BAND

Contrary to what its band name might suggest, Grammy-nominated soul and funk act Average White Band is anything but typical. The band, which has Scottish roots, is best known for its groovy jam, “Pick Up the Pieces,” and has multiple gold-certified albums.

THE WAR AND TREATY

Husband and wife duo Michael Trotter Jr. and Tanya Trotter make up Michigan-based band The War and Treaty. The band was recently honored as the Duo/ Group of the Year at the 2022 Americana Honors & Awards ceremony in September.

together since 1998, Grammy award-winning string band Old Crow Medicine Show has been inducted into the Grand Ole Opry and brings their own spin on country music (“Wagon Wheel,” anyone?).

ST. PAUL & THE BROKEN BONES

Get lost in the groove and psychedelic sounds of eight-piece ensemble St. Paul & The Broken Bones. The soul band brings a positively electric atmosphere with songs like “The Last Dance,” an absolute banger off their latest record, “The Alien Coast.”
