The 27th Ventura Music Festival Festival has been been described as a diverse musical feast from contemporary world-fusion, to "le jazz hot” for the 21st century, to an electrifying saxophone sextet that bends all genres and a jazz phenom possessed of a “miraculous voice," said VMF Executive Director Susan Scott.

“Live events are beginning to return to a semblance of what we love, so we’re very excited about the artists and seven concerts planned for this summer," she said.
