Ford Detroit Jazz Festival Superseded

Pending final approval of the Music Hall Board, the Ford Detroit International Jazz Festival would have its last run in its present format in 2004. It would be replaced by a music festival featuring Detroit Motown, Techno, R&B, gospel, rock, as well as jazz, according to Mark Stryker in the Detroit Free Press.

As is well known Music Hall has faced a lot of red ink and last year the Festival lost $100,000. The new festival would be located all over the downtown area at both indoor and outdoor venues. A four day festival in 2005 would be made possible by a grant from the Knight Foundation and potential corporate support.
