From today's Sosua News:


As we announced earlier, the legendary jazz festival will be held again on the north coast this year and now from Thursday, October 31 to Sunday November 3. The cities were it takes place are Puerto Plata, Sos?a and Cabarete. Recently we received the latest information from the organizing committee about the then performing artists. Here is a list of the jazz musicians: Abraham Laboriel, Bernie Williams, Marco Pignataro, Alex Acuna, Richie Flores, Horacio 'El Negro' Hern?ndez, Billy Drummond, George Garzone, Rufus Reid, Johnny Ventura, Milly Quezada, Pengbian Sang y Retro Jazz, Miguel Andr?s Tejada y Bolero Azul, Ram?n V?zquez, Joshy and his 4Jazz.

In Sos?a the festival on Friday will not be held at Parque Mirador but in the large amphitheater of Hotel Casa Marina which is very appropriate for this event.

Remarkable and pleasing is that on Sunday evening the festival ends in Cabarete with performances by the popular Dominican artists Johnny Ventura and Milly Quezada. These two top artists usually play merengue, bachata and boleros. Allegedly they have adjusted their repertoire this time somewhat to the theme jazz. But it will surely swing anyway.

Stopped in CM yesterday to ask and they had no clue and said that they were not notified of any concert. So I guess it is the park.

I believe thats the same gentleman who played Centerfield for the New York Yankees for 10+ years before he "retired" to become a guitarist.

From today's Sosua News:

From Kelly Mearkle, member of the organizing committee of the Jazz festival we received a message that the Jazz Festival on Friday night is not at the Casa Marina Resort, but again in the Parque Mirador. She also sent us all the data about the artists who will perform during the Festival.


Note: If you go to Sosua News there is a link to the PDF with data about the artists who will perform in the festival.

i know :( it was raining here in costambar when we left but no rain in the city apart form a 2 minute spell. shame that the scene was not secured to the sides, the musicians could have played then, maybe, without putting their instruments so much at risk. as a bonus there was some sort of a problem on the line and the whole city center had no power...
to my surprise there was quite a lot of people in the park, waiting and hanging around. all those days with no rain and it had to come today, eh?
