The 2007 Jazz Cruise, scheduled for November 11-18, 2007, is almost sold out!
Among the artists and groups confirmed on the cruise are the Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band directed by Slide Hampton featuring Roberta Gambarini, Cyrus Chestnut Trio, Jeff Hamilton Trio, Charles McPherson Quartet, Plas Johnson Quartet featuring Red Holloway, Shelly Berg, Wycliffe Gordon, Eddie Higgings, Ken Peplowski, and special guest artist Arturo Sandoval.
Guests board Holland America's MS Westerdam and depart from Fort Lauderdale. The 8-day Caribbean tour explores the favorite ports-of-call of Nassau, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and Half Moon Cay.
The Jazz Cruise is dedicated to providing guests with morning-to-night, straight ahead jazz music in exceptional venues as they indulge in all the other attributes of cruising including fine dining, recreational activities, and exciting ports of call.
Other than the time in port, every hour is filled with music or related activities. Like jazz, the mood is laid back, with no tickets, no lining up for seats, and no identification cards. Musical “grazing” is encouraged as some evenings there is music in four or five venues at a time. Immerse yourself in jazz and appreciate the “listening room” concept where music is the star and conversations and distractions are strongly discouraged.
Prices began at $2,000 per person.
