label: Description
content: <p>Dick Gibson, a Denver businessman, began hosting his annual Jazz Party in 1963 as a means to reinvigorate the jazz scene, both in Colorado and around the country. These private gatherings brought together musicians and fans from all over the world in an intimate setting of weekend-long jam sessions. Initially hosted at the Broadmoor hotel, a resort located high in the mountains above Colorado Springs, Gibson eventually moved his party to Colorado Springs and Denver. This Jazz Party format has since inspired multiple other jazz parties throughout the United States.</p>
