THE THIRD WEEK-LONG WYZZ
1G BAND & JAZZ FESTIVAL,
(From Sunday, February 13th
To Saturday, February 19th, 1983)
IS MORE THAN A FUN OCCASION . . .
IT’S A JOB CRUSADE FOR OUR AREA
When Hugh Ridall and Sheldon Wintermute held their First
International Jazz Festivals in our area back in February of 1961 and,
again, in February of 1952, they offered our area a vehicle that, if
continued, would have brought our area millions of dollars worth of
favorable publicity, and would have heralded our “True Life-Style" to
the “Outside World” from whence our new industries and jobs are
most apt to come. Unfortunately, our area “BLEW” its golden op-
portunity to create a favorable climate for the attraction of new in-
dustry. Instead, Newport, Rhode Island picked up on the idea and in
the Summer of 1954 held their first Jazz Festival, which, sub-
sequently, moved to New York City where it continues to be held. All
of this favorable publicity could have been, and should have been,
ours.
In February, 1981, and again in February, 1982, Radio Station WYZZ
sponsored week-long festivals in which jazz and big band events were
held at various area hotels and night clubs every night of the week.
College Misericordia even brought in the U.S Army Jazz Band for a
one-night stand. These first two festivals have re-established the fact
that our area held the first International Jazz Festivals. (Leonard
Feather, noted jazz historian, attests to this fact). Our area has
received thousands of dollars worth of good publicity nationally
because of the restoration and revival of the original 1951 jazz
festival idea.
WYZZ and our area need your attendance at these events this
February, 1983, to further carry the name and fame of our area to
the “Outside World", to join in this job crusade, and to help our area
get moving again. It's more than a Festival . . . It's A Job Crusade!!!
