Jazz at Five, now looking forward to its 15th season in 2008, has become a downtown Madison tradition. The series has consistently provided exceptional free concerts in a stunning locale - the 100 block of State Street, where State Street meets the Capitol Square. When the sun is shining, and the music is flowing, there is no better place to be than State Street. Think blue skies and the setting sun reflected onto the Capitol dome.

In addition to the special setting, Jazz at Five features the best in local, regional and national jazz talent and is now one of the most important free, non-profit, cultural music series in Dane County. Our goal is to continue to broaden the cultural arts landscape in Madison. Jazz at Five will showcase Madison's musical jazz diversity as well as regional and national acts to round out the series.

In case of rain the day of the event, the concert will take place on schedule at the Overture Center Lobby, 201 State St. We will make the decision to move inside by 2p.m. and you can listen to WMGN Magic 98 (98.1 FM), call 310-4462 for a recorded message or check out our web site for information at that time.
