The event is produced by Lido Chilelli, co-produced by Pat Carpignano, with musical direction by Rico Ferrara - the same gentlemen that manage the Toronto's Beaches International Jazz Festival, now in its 20th year of operation and drawing crowds in excess of 900,000 people. Lido (interviewed by Rogers on the right) is recipient of the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal and is highly excited about the event. With Rico's assistance, they have selected talent that will be real crowdpleasers! Pat, is equally thrilled, and has plans for two terrific stages.
