Louisiana's Henry Turner Jr. & Flavor are amongst the featured acts at next weekend's Jazz Festival.
Next weekend, Arcosanti will host the Prescott Jazz Society’s 11th annual Juneteenth Jazz Festival, commemorating the end of slavery in the United States and celebrating music inspired by African American culture.
Themed “1864 Emancipation – 2009 Inauguration,” the festival offers live jazz, reggae, blues, and gospel music as well as vendors, arts & crafts, dancing, swimming, hiking, and other activities.
