The
AppleJazz Festival began in 1984 as a jam session in Cortland, NY,
and has continued annually ever since. Held each year in early June
in Cortland County, this festival is small and unique, drawing 600
people for a day of Jazz, Dixieland, and family picnicking. Antique
cars and an idyllic setting add to the atmosphere of this lovely
event. Musicians are from the local Syracuse/Cortland area, however
some are flown in from Florida and Alabama. Occasional musicians
from New York City have stopped in to sit in with the bands, and
the audience enjoys the spontaneity of the music on stage. Trumpeter,
bandleader, and artistic director Charlie Bertini heads up the ceremony
and has done so since the Festival's beginning.
This
year's concert will be held on June 3, 2006, at our original
location, The Pavilion at Dwyer Memorial Park in Little York
(Preble),
New York. Whether you prefer a seat away from the stage or wish
to be within handshaking distance of the AppleJazz musicians,
this is an event you won’t want to miss.
