The atmosphere is one-of-a-kind: marching bands, jam sessions, concerts lasting late into the night, and encounters between musicians from around the world. <\/p>\n The festival\u2019s identity is deeply rooted in New Orleans, whose musical, festive, and community-oriented spirit it embodies. This connection is reflected in a lineup that blends traditional jazz, funk, blues, and contemporary works. <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" IMEP \u2022 Paris College of Music is proud to announce that its ensemble, IMEP Latitudes, will perform at the 42nd edition of the Jazz Ascona Festival, which will take place […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":263860,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"dipi_cpt_category":[],"class_list":["post-263898","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"\n\n
