And that’s a wrap for the 2025 Ky Heritage Jazz Fest! Day 3 was a blast with some incredible music performed at our big band blast. David Hall’s students kicked us off and the future is bright with these talented young musicians! Asbury University, Morehead State, the University of Louisville, and the Somerset Big Band were all great. And the finale with the University of Ky Jazz Ensemble was INCREDIBLE featuring guests artists: trumpeter Brad Goode, saxophonist Ernie Watts and Jeff Coffin, drummer Adam Nussbaum, and bassist Jay Anderson!
Thanks to our incredible musicians and bands, our food vendors, and thanks to all that attended, sponsored, volunteered, and helped make it happen! See you in 2026!
