year by featuring over forty acts at seventeen locations. It
will run for one week, from Sunday, August 16, 1987 to Sunday,

and most widely appealing collections of both international and
Bay Area performers to be featured by the Festival.
The Concord Jazz Festival will commence with a free concert in
Todos Santos Park in Concord on Sunday, August 16 . "Jazz in the
Park; A Tribute to Turk Murphy, " presented by See' s Candies,
will honor the great Bay Area musician who, until his recent
death, was scheduled to perform at this event. Instead, the
Turk Murphy Jazz Band will be joined by other jazz performers
to salute this inspiring musician.
The Concord Jazz Festival Headquarters will be located at the
Sheraton Hotel and Conference Center where visitors may receive
information on the various aspects of the Festival.
Other performances to be given during the Festival will be held
at several locations in Concord, as well as in Lafayette,
Antioch and Walnut Creek.
The Festival was first held in 1969 at Concord Boulevard
Neighborhood Park. The Concord Pavilion was built largely due
to the popularity of the Festival to provide the community with
an adequate setting for the event. This year, the Festival will
conclude at the Pavilion with two days of music by some of the
best and brightest jazz performers.
