Sold out every year, it is a month-long affair culminating on one weekend in June at the Hollywood Bowl featuring jazz, latin and world music. Virtually every jazz legend and major contemporary artist has performed here, yet the festival has also showcased up and coming talent from around the world and from various genres. As part of its commitment to foster a greater awareness of jazz music, the festival presents a comprehensive six-week series of free pre-festival events most notably: the standing room only "Jazz on Film" night and the "Old Pasadena Summerfest", a three-day event featuring 20 hours of free live jazz, arts & crafts, gourmet foods, rides and a variety of family entertainment. Begun in 1959 as a one-time landmark event in Chicago to celebrate the 5th anniversary of Playboy Magazine, it was revived in 1979 and remains one of the most unique festivals with its forward thinking and creative programming. Past performers include Benny Goodman, Count Basie, Joe Williams, Art Blakey, Freddie Hubbard, Gerry Mulligan, Mel Torme, Etta James, Pancho Sanchez, Chris Botti, Arturo Sandoval, Brian Setzer, Gladys Knight, Joshua Redman, Chucho Valdes, Ozomatli and hundreds of others. 28th Annual Playboy Jazz Festival Lease Events LE Sunday, June 18, 2006, 2:00 PM Hollywood Bowl 2301 N.
