June is the month the Five Points Jazz Festival and City Park Jazz return to Denver. That means there will be plentiful free expression, and free concerts, in the Mile High City. The Five Points Jazz Festival, taking place June 10, celebrates 20 years as a local, multi-venue party, mostly along Welton Street, but including some other neighborhood locales. The history of jazz talent in Denver’s Five Points neighborhood was so rich that it became known as the “Harlem of the West.” There was a time when legends like Duke Ellington and Billie Holiday would perform in the area’s storied hotels. In an attempt to recapture the energy of that legacy, the annual Five Points Jazz Festival will present numerous Colorado artists, like the Annie Booth Big Band, a tribute to the well-loved late pianist Joe Bonner, and Vincent Wiggins and Latin Soul, with special guest trumpeter Hugh Ragin. A longtime local fixture, Ragin established his name on the world stage long ago.
