The San Diego Jazz Party Is Still The

Best Jazz Party Of The Year!

February 19 - 21, 2010

At the Hilton San Diego/Del Mar
in Del Mar, California

Our 2009 Party continued to be one of the best ever. In spite of the relatively poor economy, a near record crowd of attendees came from across the United States and many from the east and Midwest who like our San Diego weather in February. As always, they responded enthusiastically to the weekend-long performances of world-class, mainstream jazz musicians, all of whom are popular and renowned recording artists.

We have an annual tradition of honoring one of our musicians as an SDJP "Jazz Legend" for his or her outstanding contribution to America's jazz heritage. In 2009, we honored the great cornet jazz musician Ed Polcer. Past honorees have included the late Barney Kessell, trumpet legend Joe Wilder, Jeanie Cheatham and the late Jimmy Cheatham, and pianist/composer Dick Hyman. Our "Jazz Legend" for the 2010 party will be the venerable drummer, Jake Hanna. Our 2010 three-day festival will be held again in the ballroom of the Hilton San Diego/Del Mar - a great location for a weekend of good food, relaxation, libations, and outstanding classic jazz. Those who purchase a Patron badge for the three-day weekend will be a Jazz Party guest on Friday afternoon for our Cocktail Party and for brunch on Saturday morning. Entertainment will be provided at both events.

Come to enjoy and to help celebrate the 22nd year of The San Diego Jazz Party!
