This Thursday-Saturday, March 2-4, Santa Barbara will become its own little New Orleans, as the Santa Barbara Jazz Festival Redux spices up our little slice of paradise with blocks of live music and cultural events. The multi-venue event rebirths the beachside fest that dissolved in the early ’00s, and various venues throughout the downtown, Funk Zone, and Lagoon District areas will host more than 30 bands, a second-line procession and fête, a youth jazz showcase, and much more. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the nonprofit Notes for Notes and the Dos Pueblos High School Jazz Fest.
"S.B. lends itself to a great place for a jazz fest," said festival director Warner Anderson.
