Dick and Maddie Gibson of Denver sponsored the first Colorado Jazz Party in 1963 at the Jerome Hotel in Aspen. The Jazz Party became an annual event, moving to the Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, then to Denver. Today different jazz parties in Colorado continue the tradition begun by the original Colorado Jazz Party.
Rounding out the number of invited musicians to forty are some of the younger talents playing in the progressive and modern veins. . . . most have international reputations. -- John Falter
