Riverboat Jazz Festival

Riverboat Jazz Festival brings more than 100 free concerts to Silkeborg in the lovely Danish summertime. 

Denmark's oldest jazz festival

Since the beginning in 1966, Denmark’s oldest jazz festival has been an extremely popular event with a truly unique atmosphere. The city simply  breathes jazz for 5 days. With swinging parades in the streets, open air stages in the town squares, concerts in nearly every café and on the water, restaurant and venue in town, you won't be able to escape it - but why would you?

If you want to experience the ultimate Riverboat Jazz feeling, you should book a ticket to one of the sailing concerts on board " Hjejlen " - the world's oldest working steamboat - or one of its siblings. 

Every year, about 50.000 people visit the jazz festival in Silkeborg to experience top shelf jazz musicians from all over the world.

The Lineup is Complete!

We could not be more proud to announce the final 8 more amazing artists to join the 40th Annual Russian River Jazz & Blues Festival Lineup!

JONNY LANG: Sixteen years ago, Lang was discovered in Fargo, ND and hailed as the “future of blues,” achieving overwhelming success at a young age. Having survived the spotlight, Lang settled down as a family man and recently released his first album in 7 years, Fight For My Soul . This will be Jonny’s first appearance in Guerneville in 12 years!

BRIAN CULBERTSON: The multi-talented keyboardist & trombone player will release his new record Funk! in September, and he will bring his revamped band lineup to Guerneville!

BOBBY RUSH:  At 82, Bobby Rush is considered an elder statesman of blues, but the “King of Chitlin’ Circuit” shows no signs of slowing down. Rush’s last two albums have been Grammy-nominated with elements of soul, funk and rap…”folk funk.”

RAUL MIDON: Blind since birth, the singer/guitarist blends flamenco, jazz and R&B to create a category-defying sound. The New York Times said Midón “is a one-man band that turns his guitar into an orchestra, his voice into a chorus.”

MORELAND & ARBUCKLE: Hailing from Wichita, guitarist Aaron Moreland and harpist/vocalist Dustin Arbuckle, along with drummer Kendall Newby, are an electric blues trio that describe their music as “gritty blues and roots rock from the heartland.”

IGOR PRADO: Born in Sao Paolo, Prado fell in love with American Blues and West Coast Swing, and now partners with the best of the genre including Kim Wilson, Curtis Salgado, Rick Estrin, and Rod Piazza amongst others.

THE COSMO ALLEYCATS: A 6-piece dance band that plays with a vintage twist, spanning the eras of Swing & Big Band, ’60s Soul, Motown and contemporary music.

ABOUT THE FESTIVAL

    3 days   +   3 venues   = 1 great weekend .

Curtis King, founder and president of The Black Academy of Arts and Letters, Inc. (TBAAL), has traveled around the country for over 16 years to frequent and study major music festivals, specifically festivals of a jazz nature. For over forty-seven (47) years, TBAAL has entertained millions of patrons from around the globe in its downtown Dallas location, The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center. True to its mission, this major multi-discipline cultural arts conglomerate, fosters, cultivates, perpetuates, preserves and promotes the arts and letters of the African, Caribbean and African-American experience. TBAAL serves over 450,000 arts enthusiasts annually and is an iconic centerpiece for the city of Dallas’ artistic and cultural diversity offerings to its citizens and tourists worldwide.

Dallas, known as “the can-do city” and a “city that works,” is the steady pulse and heartbeat of a major growing American metropolitan area that prides itself on being a new frontier and maverick of the southwest for exciting and creative innovations. Many people are unaware that Oscar, the Academy Award statuette, was named from Texan Oscar Pierce, whose niece worked in Hollywood for the Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences. 

When she saw the gold statuette, she reportedly said, “Why, that looks just like my Uncle Oscar.” History like this is a testament that Texas continues to be a beacon of light and fertile ground for transplants, immigrants and settlers to hang their permanent hats on a thriving city like Dallas!

Dallas, accessibly located in the center of the country, is a prime spot for an exciting national festival to attract tourists. Simultaneously, it gives Dallas/Fort Worth residents an opportunity to partake in a major music festival and to see on three stages some of the world’s best national and international mainstream, cutting-edge, traditional and contemporary artists and performers.

Like the 2017, 2018, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023 festivals, this year’s festival will also feature an array of renowned music artists from around the world where patrons will experience a gumbo of jazz, blues, R&B, soul, pop and neo-soul music. Also, there will be a showcase stage for Promising Young Artists from the Dallas/Fort Worth area schools and music programs in day-long back-to-back performances.

For three days, the 2024 festival attendees will browse and shop at vendor booths, and experience delectable and diverse food. Produced by TBAAL, the Riverfront Jazz Festival promises to be one of Dallas' annual major attractions for patrons, tourists and Dallas citizens.

Since the 1960s, the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival has brought jazz masters to University of Idaho with elementary, junior high, high school and college students to share and celebrate a truly American art form. The Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival has grown from a one-day event to an amazing three-day experience!

The first University of Idaho Jazz Festival took place in 1967, with a dozen student groups and one guest artist. The festival continued to grow from there — erupting onto the national stage in 1982, when thousands of students and spectators came to hear Ella Fitzgerald.

In 1984, the festival’s most important relationship began when Lionel Hampton joined the excitement in Moscow. Inspired by the enthusiasm of the students, Hamp pledged his support to the festival and, in 1985, the festival was renamed in his honor.

Now, having hosted thousands of students, spectators and artists — including Doc Severinsen, Bobby McFerrin, Sarah Vaughan, Dizzy Gillespie, The Manhattan Transfer, and countless musicians from around the world – the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival is three outstanding days of student performances, workshops, clinics and remarkable world-class evening concerts.

As the Festival enters its fifth decade, it will continue to further Hamp's vision and legacy for perpetuating jazz music education for generations to come.

The Visionary, Doc Skinner

Over the last five decades, the jazz festival at the University of Idaho has been led by a handful of committed directors. But there’s one man who is credited with transforming the event into the nationally known tradition it has become today: Doc Skinner.

Lynn “Doc” Skinner has been part of the jazz festival since he arrived in Moscow in the early ’70s as the director of music education at the university. He became festival director in 1976, and in 1984, Skinner invited Lionel Hampton to the festival. The pair of musicians bonded over a passion for jazz and a shared dream to keep the art form alive and well through youth education. The two formed a partnership and friendship that infused the festival with an inspiring energy and a renewed focus on educating the next generation of jazz musicians. Skinner served as executive director of the festival — which was renamed in Hamp’s honor in 1985 — until he retired in 2007. During his tenure as executive director of the festival, he brought some of the world’s greatest jazz artists to Moscow. In addition to Lionel Hampton, headliners included Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Stan Getz, Gerry Mulligan, Toots Thielemans, Ray Brown and Sarah Vaughan.

Thanks to Skinner’s efforts, the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival received the National Medal of Arts in 2007. In 2010, his impact on music education was recognized with the Governor’s Awards in the Arts for Support of Arts Education from Idaho Gov. C.L. “Butch” Otter.

Still a resident of Moscow, Doc Skinner continues to share his passion of jazz by teaching and attending the festival each year.

National Medal of Arts

As the nation honored jazz great Lionel Hampton during his centennial birth year in 2008, the White House gave accolades to Hampton’s jazz and education legacy – a legacy that endures in the seemingly unlikely locale of Moscow, Idaho. The University of Idaho Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival received the National Medal of Arts, the nation’s most prestigious arts award, from President George W. Bush.

Former university President Timothy P. White and festival Artistic Director John Clayton accepted the medal in a White House ceremony.

“This recognition affirms the vision shared by Lionel Hampton and the university about the power of jazz and education to bridge cultures, inspire creativity and develop the musical leadership abilities of the next generation of jazz leaders,” White said.

Hampton envisioned more than an annual gathering of the world's top jazz musicians in the heart of winter in a small university town. He had a bigger dream — investing in future generations to perpetuate jazz as an art form and providing young students with a great introduction to a uniquely American style of music.

In 1985, the festival was renamed the Lionel Hampton/Chevron Festival in his honor, and rededicated as the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival in 2006. Hampton died in 2002 at age 94.

Jazz in the Schools

The  Jazz in the Schools program  began in 1995. The program takes visiting musicians to elementary schools in northern Idaho and Eastern Washington to introduce students to this truly American art form. Forty-two schools participated in the 2015 Jazz in the Schools program, reaching over 9,000 K-12 students during the week of the festival.

Program Archives

To get an idea of the scope and vitality of the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival, research these most recent official program guides  or visit the International Jazz Collections in University of Idaho's Library for materials from the festival’s past dating back to the late 1960’s. The IJC is the preeminent jazz archive in the Pacific Northwest and features archival materials from the estates of Lionel Hampton, Pete and Conte Candoli, Al Grey, Ray Brown, Leonard Feather, Dizzy Gillespie and many more.
