About the McCall Jazz Festival:
The fourth annual jazz festival hosted by jazz musician Curtis Stigers will have a new date and a new venue for this year.
Last year’s jazz festival was held at Brundage Mountain Resort, with the first two festivals held at the McCall Golf Course.
This year, Boise native and internationally renowned jazz artist Curtis Stigers with his co-producer Jodi Peterson have a new partner for the event, David Carey of Hotel McCall, Ruperts and Jug Mountain. Stigers and Peterson met with Carey after the 2015 Jazz Festival and they liked what Carey had to offer.
A location with lots of parking, canopies of trees to provide much-needed shade in August, a tent for all attendees to be seated beneath with chairs for everyone.

Singer/songwriter Curtis Stigers' interest in music began in his hometown of Boise, Idaho. There he received classical training in clarinet and saxophone in high school. Stigers attracted label attention as the saxophonist/vocalist of a jazz trio, signing a deal with Arista and releasing two albums for the label: 1991's self-titled, multi-platinum debut and 1995's Time Was.
His smooth, ballad-heavy blend of soul and rock translated into commercial appeal, particularly on his cover of Nick Lowe's "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding" on the Bodyguard soundtrack. Released in 1999, Stigers' third album, Brighter Days, featured appearances by Jackson Browne and Benmont Tench, as well as songs co-written by Carole King and Jules Shear. The album's single "To Be Loved" also appeared on the Dawson's Creek soundtrack, ensuring his continued popularity.
In addition, Stigers moonlighted as a jazz vocalist, performing and recording with artists like Gene Harris and the Doky Brothers. In 2001, Stigers issued an album of jazz standards, Baby Plays Around, which was recorded for the Concord Jazz label and featured backing by Randy Brecker and Chris Minh Doky, among others. Five more jazz-oriented albums for Concord followed: Secret Heart (2002), You Inspire Me (2003), I Think It's Going to Rain Today (2005), Real Emotional (2007), and Lost in Dreams (2009).
In 2012, Stigers released the country-tinged album Let's Go Out Tonight, featuring covers of songs by such artists as Steve Earle, Hayes Carll, and Richard Thompson, among others. Another collection of sharply chosen covers and originals, Hooray for Love, appeared in the spring of 2014.
When he plays at Boise and McCall, Stigers will be coming off a tour with his band that includes the Montreux Jazz Festival in Switzerland, the Xerox Rochester Jazz Festival in New York, the Edinburgh Jazz & Blues Festival in Scotland, Helsinki’s Savoy Theater, Jazz Aspen in Colorado, and a residency at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London.
