The first Playboy Jazz Festival took
place in 1959 to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Playboy Magazine. The
magazine revived the brand in 1979 and has since turned the annual event into
one of the summer’s premiere jazz gatherings. This year’s Playboy Jazz Festival
will take place at Los Angeles’
Hollywood Bowl from June 14-15. Artists scheduled to appear on Saturday include
Al Jarreau, Poncho Aanchez Latin Jazz Band with special guest Eddie Floyd, the James Moody Quartet, Dr. John & the Lower
911 and Tower of Power, while Herbie Hancock, Keb’ Mo’, Oy Hargrove Big
Band and Ryan Shaw are also slated to appear Sunday. Please click here for more
