(June 22-July 7, 2012) Jazz Aspen Snowmass is the umbrella organization for an abundance of jazzy events including a summer festival in June, a Labor Day jazz festival, a number of one-off concerts throughout the year, educational programs, and a concert series at the Little Nell Hotel.

The summer festival features the likes of Raul Midon, the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis and Monty Alexander, as well as a whole host of acts in smaller venues throughout the city during the 10-day event. The Labor Day festival tends to feature more mainstream acts like Lenny Kravitz, Steely Dan and Girl Talk. Night owl festival-goers should keep an eye out for the JAS After Dark concerts that happen through the night after the mainstage acts during both festivals and since 1994, locals have enjoyed (and continue to enjoy) the free concert series on Fanny Hill throughout the summer, featuring a veritable potpourri of musical acts and genres.
