The Music City Jazz, Blues & Heritage Festival is a well-received breath of freshness that many feel has a permanent place in the growth and fabric of the city. The conversation around the city amongst people who attended last year is that, "Nashville really needs to have more of these'' and that ''We're just loving this. Finally, it's something besides hip-hop and all the other stuff.''

"(The) goal is to have Nashville embrace 70,000 tourists each Labor Day weekend for the football game, band competition and jazz & heritage festival."
