Listen to find out about the special offer for the festival!Episode Highlights06:49 - It all started shortly after I lost my father to cancer. Just before I lost my father, my dad was giving me instructions for how to move forward in life without him. He said to me, "Son, I want you to remember to always think of others more highly than yourself."43:41 - Before we even go to night two, the party doesn't end with the last concert. We have something that we call the "nightcap." So, after the last concert at the Pabst Theater, we all go back to the host hotel and we have live music that goes 'til about one o'clock in the morning. Often times, the artists that were on stage that night will come and hang out with the guests in the lobby of the hotel, too. 01:05:08 - Our goal is to raise a million dollars to do philanthropic work through this festival over timeContactFresh Coast Jazz FestivalSuzanne Singh
