Caesarea jazz festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In May 2005, the ancient Israeli city of Caesarea Harbor, held its first classical jazz celebration. The jazz of Benny Goodman and Louis Armstrong, the traditional sounds of New Orleans, Dixieland, and the swinging, bouncy beats of the 30's and 40's, were played by renowned international and local bands.
