"In conjunction with Concord Jazz, we've put together a stellar lineup that showcases many of the great artists that Concord Jazz represents."

"The creation of this festival by visionary Carl Jefferson in 1969 led directly to his formation of the Concord Jazz label just a few years later," said Concord Records President John Burk. "Therefore, we at Concord Jazz owe a great debt to Jefferson and the City of Concord, and we are thrilled to partner with Live Nation in bringing the Festival back home for its 50th Anniversary."
