Sunset over Lake Michigan, Fall in South Haven, and Jazz – John Stites Jazz Awards is excited to share an invitation to the South Haven Jazz Festival. The South Haven Jazz Festival won a 2021 JSJA award which enabled them to bring jazz trumpeter and Concord Recording artist Wayne Bergeron to the Festival. Bergeron played with the legendary Maynard Ferguson for many years. The Festival is free and will take place September 16-17. Friday’s events begin at 5:30 pm and Saturday’s start at 4:30 pm.
John loved music with all his heart and was the ideal recording engineer – a profession into which he poured all his considerable talents and artistry.
