Did you know that the Main Stage at
Summer Solstice Jazz Festival is named
The Al and Beth Cafagna Founders' Stage?
Why, you ask? Well, it's because JAMM's own darling Al founded the festival decades ago, on the campus of MSU, where he taught for years.Here they are in 2016 on their wedding anniversary, before the Second Line Parade began.
