The jazz enthusiasts from all over the Country know all about Philadelphia’s annual Philadelphia United Jazz Festival. Reams of visitors head for Philly to listen to the kind of music that fills their ears (and their souls) with joy. We know! We escort many a visitor in our sedans and limousines to and from this event, and many other major events with comfortable style.
The who’s who in jazz perform in this now famous annual event. It began in 2003 when Graziella D’Amelio and Warren Oree of LifeLine Music Coalition decided to put their own money into creating the very first Philadelphia Jazz and Poetry Festival. It was a three-day event with 14 mostly free venues. Their goals was to promote jazz music in Philly in a showcase format that would gather support from jazz enthusiasts and the Philadelphia business community as well.
The goal of LifeLine Music Coalition, Inc. had a goal to raise awareness, influence (and opportunities to showcase), the many forms and styles of jazz artists in Philadelphia. And raise awareness it did. In addition to the annual Festival, almost any night of the week there is an original jazz club or other jazz hot spot entertaining well into the night.
Just a few of some of the jazz hot spots you’ll find include:
Jazz has a rich history. The primary source and foundation of rhythm and blues, rock ‘n’ roll and country music, Jazz origins stretch back to as early as the 1800’s. The rich sounds of the blues music of African Americans drew people into the music because it touched them. It was about the good, the bad and the ugly of life and it was real.
Born in 1961 internationally acclaimed musician/composer Wynton Marsalis says New Orleans was the birthplace of jazz. In the 1900’s New Orleans streets were filled with a grand music melting pot of the echoes of traditional African drums, ragtime, hymns, blues, folk, opera and marching bands. Marsalis says “When all of these kinds of music blended into one, jazz was born.”

My company had an international artist picked up at JFK and dropped off in Philadelphia, and the artist had the best time. The driver kept in touch with me throughout the day, so we could plan for arrival, and our artist had the most wonderful experience with the driver. That’s really astounding considering our artist had just gotten off a red-eye from across the world. Thank you so very much!
