Evergreen Jazz Festival:
Traditional Jazz with Altitude!
"One of the best jazz festivals anywhere," according to one jazz columnist, Evergreen Jazz Festival showcases the best in traditional jazz every July in the picturesque town of Evergreen, CO, 30 minutes from Denver in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
To enjoy and preserve, throughs education and live performances, the musical heritage of traditional jazz, a unique American art form, to be performed by the finest Colorado, national and international musicians in distinctive venues in Evergreen, Colorado.
The seeds of the Evergreen Jazz Festival were sown in 1999 at a birthday party for long-time Evergreen resident Sterling Nelson. Sterling had served as president of the Denver Jazz Club as far back as 1960, and his birthday party included unrehearsed performances by eight top Colorado jazz musicians. Inspired by the incredible music of this all-star band, party-goers expressed a desire to “do this every year.”
Happily, Evergreen was no stranger to jazz. In the late ’60s and early ’70s, Evergreen hosted jazz greats like Count Basie and Duke Ellington at a club called The Red Ram. Now known as Little Bear, this infamous night club has served as one of our Festival venues. Another of our venues, the Elks Lodge, hosted the Evergreen Ragtime Bash throughout the ’90s, thanks to the efforts of local jazz pianist George Keeler.
