2003 is the "Year of the Blues"! So declared Congress, and who are we to argue? Therefore, this year's Jazz & Blues Celebration will present many Blues shows, featuring a daily airing of a stellar Public Radio International series hosted by Keb' Mo called "The Blues". Live music guests? You've got it -- every night of the fund drive great area musicians broadcasting live from our studios! This guide will help you find these and the many other great shows prepared by our exclusive staff of Jazz and Blues chefs, just the way you like it -- from Down Home Cookin' to Uptown Gourmet.
