Jazz on the Move - Day 2

Every April, Downtown Chandler turns the spotlight on its jazz scene. In celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month, the festival hosts a stellar lineup of local talent; spanning genres ranging from traditional and fusion rhythm to smooth jazz.

This addition to Jazz Appreciation Month is the “Jazz on the Move” series. This includes four performances taking place at remote locations around Chandler to reach more of the community. Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and lawn chairs to the outdoor performances. This is an alcohol & smoke-free event.
