The Mid-Atlantic Jazz Festival (MAJF) at The Hilton Washington DC/Rockville Hotel, produced by saxophonist/educator Paul Carr, will launch in the spirit of the former East Coast Jazz Festival. With a commitment to jazz education and a desire to present the exceptional level of talent of the DC area, the MAJF offers Festival attendees a weekend of the finest local/regional artists, and national artists such as Mulgrew Miller, Bobby Watson, Lewis Nash and Terell Stafford, coupled with a host of workshops, master classes and film screenings.
