WEST READING, Pa. – The sweet sounds of jazz fills the air on the second day of Jazz Fest.<\/p>\n
“This will be our 35th year for Berks Arts. This is just wonderful. I can’t even describe the feeling, but it’s wonderful,” said executive director of Berks Arts, Tish Davis.<\/p>\n
Rita Fredericks has been a volunteer for the festival for over 20 years.<\/p>\n
“I love jazz,” said Fredericks. “This is an opportunity not only to be in the presence of a lot of jazz people, people that also enjoy jazz, but also to experience some of the awesome jazz musicians that come through Berks County.”<\/p>\n
This year there is a very impressive line up for the festival.<\/p>\n
“When you have the talent that is on the stage and throughout the whole festival it’s just a wonderful thing,” said Davis.<\/p>\n
Fredericks said, “Berks County has probably one of the best jazz fests around.”<\/p>\n
The festival is spread out across several venues.<\/p>\n
“If you love jazz and even if you don’t, this is an opportunity to be introduced to it and be introduced to so many wonderful people,” said Fredericks.<\/p>\n
It’s the people and music that keep fans coming back year after year.<\/p>\n
Charles Sanders who has been going for over 30 years said, “It’s like a family reunion.”<\/p>\n
