Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The Bessie Smith Strut in Chattanooga, Tennessee, takes place in June; the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival in Moscow, Idaho, is held every February; and late August/early September is the time for the yearly International String Quartet Competition in Banff, Alberta. But without Tom Clynes's masterpiece of a music festival guide, it would take a stupefying amount of effort to glean that information, let alone the other 998 music festivals in the United States and Canada his book details, organized by region, then cross-referenced by date, name, and genre. Music festival fans will marvel how they ever got along without it.
