Hailed as one of the top 5 jazz festivals in the country in the January ‘08 Jazz Times Reader’s Poll, Detroit Jazz Fest is an exceptional showcase for Detroit-based artists.  “There aren’t nearly enough slots for all of the qualified musicians, so the competition is fierce,” said Terri Pontremoli, executive director of the DJF. “The music legacy in this town is very deep, and to this day strong, young artists are coming through the ranks.”
