I just wanted to say thank you to kaihoffmanjazz and every volunteer involved for creating such a special weekend for us every year, but especially this year.

We could have been anywhere in the world but we were lucky enough to have such a spectacle brought to our little town. All the fun and no commute. 

The quality of the acts was superb, this event really does bring a richness to us and I’m so grateful. I urge everyone to support and donate to next years hernebayjazz festival.
