For over 40 years, many great musicians have graced the stage of the Jacksonville Jazz Festival, for this year When We Speak TV joined the 3 day celebration. The 2023 Jacksonville Jazz Festival occured over the Memorial Day weekend with two stages of FREE entertainment in the heart of downtown Jacksonville, Florida. We began our Jacksonville Jazz Festival experience as soon as we arrived, we sat down with our friend and previous When We Speak guest, Tromobonist Jeff Bradshaw. Thereafter, we headed to the Swingin Stage Sponsored by Publix for a performance by pianist Eddie Palmieri then we were off to the Groovin Stage Sponsored by Jacksonville Aviation Authority to enjoy Ron Carter's Foursight Quartet. We checked back in at the Swinging stage for Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis and finally ending the day at the Groovin Stage with Eric Roberson featuring Jeff Bradshaw. Day 2, we explored the many vendors along the street and remained at the Swingin Stage the entire day for spectacular performances by The U.S Army Admbassadors Jazztet, Bassist Marcus Miller and to our surprise, our friend and previous When We Speak guest, trumpeter Russell Gunn joined Marcus Miller during the performance, The Swinging Stage ended with an electrifying performance by Chaka Khan!!!! But that didn't end the night....there was also a Jazz Jam Session until Midnight!!! That brings us to our final day of the Jacksonville Jazz Festival at the Groovin Stage with vocalist Shemekia Copeland and on the Swingin Stage a performance from the 2023 Jacksonville Jazz Piano Competition winner and one of jazz's newest stars and 2023 Grammy winner for Best New Artist and Best Jazz Vocal Album, Samara Joy!!!
