The Heights of The Era Jazz music festival brings jazz back to the BIX 7 race weekend.
“it s a logical fit, and I think we were to have many, many people who really miss BIX music being part of this weekend,” Co-creator, Michelle Solis Russell said.
The Bix Beiderbecke Memorial Jazz Festival moved its date to the first week of August back in 2011. The festival usually fell on the Bix 7 race weekend at the end of July, but separated itself.
