The Jazz Factory Closes

It was sad to learn that The Jazz Factory in Louisville closed on March 29, 2008, after five years of fine jazz. It was a great jazz club that featured exciting local, regional, national, and international artists. Musicians gracing the stage through the years included Monty Alexander, David "Fathead" Newman, Joey DeFrancesco, Wynton Marsalis, Kenny Barron, Slide Hampton, Kenny Garrett, Mose Allison, Delfeayo Marsalis, Fred Hirsh, David Sanchez, and many more.
