The 2023 Jazz Maui Music Festival presents "An Evening of Classics from the Blue Note Jazz Era" with trumpeter Steve Dubey and The Maui Jazz Elements featuring John Zangrando on sax and flute, Mark Johnstone on piano, Marcus Johnson on bass, and Paul Marchetti on drums at the ProArts Playhouse in Kihei.

The Blue Note record company released more than 1,000 albums from 1949 to 1966, most of them becoming classics in the history of American jazz music. Legendary jazz icons such as Art Blakey, Miles Davis, Joe Henderson, Dizzy Gillespie, Oscar Peterson and many more were recorded and their music preserved by Blue Note for future jazz lovers. This concert is an homage to the legacy of the artists who created the Blue Note sound and shaped this unique American tradition.

Jazz Maui, a branch of the 501(c)-3 nonprofit Arts Education for Children Group (www.aecg.org), provides opportunities for participation in high quality jazz music education and performances. Throughout the year Jazz Maui presents concerts, clinics, classes and edited streamed performances on its website: www.JazzMaui.org.

The Jazz Maui 2023 Maui Music Festival is supported by Hawaii Tourism Authority through the Community Enrichment Program and by Maui Visitors and Convention Bureau.
