Representing all spectrums of the jazz world, these musical masters lilt out enough bebop, improv, swing and salsa to keep you glued to the stages all day long. The Monterey Jazz Festival Honors Band then emerges from the hallowed halls of Monterey and Santa Cruz high schools to show off some of the finest young talent in Big Band land, while SF's Dmitri Matheny kicks off his West Coast tour playing the flugelhorn like nobody's business and astounding audiences with his quintet o' plenty. Spirit Talk, Tranceport, Steve Czarnecki and a host of others round out the bill. Cotton Tales opens its doors both days to children of all ages for a personalized dose of face painting, music and magic tricks. So dust off your party shoes, fish out the sunscreen and reacquaint yourself with all the delights that makes Santa Cruz the center of the universe.
