This article reports on the JVC Jazz Festival held in June 1997, in New York City, New York. The year the Festival is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Ironically, this year's JVC festival made a powerful argument for programming over volume, even if people didn't agree with the programming. Apparently Wein was fired up by some combination of the twenty-fifth anniversary, last year's New York press putdowns of his tepid programming, steadily declining ticket sales and the deaths of some of his longtime stars. And despite high-ticket prices for JVC main events at Avery Fisher and Carnegie, audiences there were more New York diverse than those at Texaco. The Latin jazz and Brazilian nights drew lots of Hispanic listeners.
