Let’s celebrate our own jazz all stars: here are a few more photos from our 20th Annual Pittsfield CityJazz Festival, which wrapped up this past weekend.

A snippet from last night’s concert, which blew the roof off of the Boyd-Quinson Theater, as Grace Kelly Music, Veronica Swift, and the UCONN Jazz Ensemble—under the direction of John Mastroianni—closed out our 20th Annual Pittsfield CityJazz Festival. The crowd of 300 toe-tapped, cheered, clapped, sang, and applauded the two-plus hour jazz spectacular.

We are still reveling in the adrenaline rush of the great jazz we experienced these past ten days; we’ll be sharing more videos, photos, and thoughts over the next few weeks. Thanks to the audience members, sponsors, donors, artists, venues, vendors, volunteers, media, City of Pittsfield, and Berkshires Jazz Board of Directors—we couldn’t do any of this without you.
