- Playboy Jazz Festival Continues Tradition of Free Jazz , 05 May 2003

The Playboy Jazz Festival sizzles with free swinging sets in Beverly Hills, Watts, Los Angeles and Pasadena to launch its silver anniversary celebration.

The 2003 community concerts could be designated as double silver since the Playboy Jazz Festival’s 1979 West Coast premiere also commemorated the magazine’s silver anniversary. The magazine celebrates its golden 50th birthday this year. Playboy Enterprises additionally commemorates the 25th silver presentation of jazz at the Hollywood Bowl with paid performances June 14 and 15.

The free concerts will be held May 4 at the Beverly Hills Civic Center, May 9 inside Phoenix Hall of the Bradley Senior Citizen Center in Watts, May 18 at the Conga Room in Los Angeles and May 24, 25 and 26 over the Memorial Day weekend at the Old Pasadena Summer Fest. The free events conclude June 12 with the screening of archivist Mark Cantor’s “Jazz on Film” at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

The May 24 lineup includes Mindi Abair, Jose Rizo’s Jazz on the Latin Side All Stars, Victor Fields, Brian Hughes, Rayford Griffin and Rebirth of the Cool and Baba Alade.
