Casselberry, Florida, May 28, 2014 (McKenzieNewsService.com) – The 11th Annual JazzFest at Sea will be taking place onboard the MSC Divina departing Miami to the Eastern Caribbean on October 18, 2014 for 7 nights. The cruise presents Swing, Classic Jazz, Chicago Jazz, Traditional Jazz, and other jazz styles which emerged during the first half of the 20th century.
This year’s lineup features the Allan Vaché All-Star Jazz Sextet, the Harry Allen Quintet, and the Bria Skonberg Quintet. Special guests include Banu Gibson and Cynthia Sayer. A swinging jazz singer, Banu is one of the few vocalists of her generation to maintain exclusive loyalty to songs of the 1920s, ’30s, and ’40s. One of the top 4-string banjoists in the world today, Cynthia Sayer is a founding member of Woody Allen’s jazz band. Cynthia’s solo career has taken her well beyond her New Orleans roots to become an acclaimed bandleader and guest artist.
JazzFest at Sea, one of the leading jazz cruises for 1920’s to 1940’s jazz, not only has amazing performances each evening of the cruise, but also afternoon sessions on days at sea. In addition to the group performances, individuals are mixed and matched to create jazz sets not able to be seen or heard anywhere else.
“We get the very best jazz musicians to participate and I’m proud to have had a part in creating the great music we have on this jazz cruise every year,” says the great clarinetist Allan Vaché.
Additionally, the cruise features the JazzFest Jammers program which is an opportunity for amateur musicians to bring their own instruments and jam with other guests and pros. This group is led by John Skillman, Mike Evans and Jim Gover who also provide instruction upon request.
