BOOKEXPO AMERICA 2001 AUTHOR EVENTS PROGRAM TO FEATURE BENEFIT CONCERT BY WYNTON MARSALIS

BookExpo America 2001 events will feature a benefit concert in addition to a line-up of notable guest speakers.

Wynton Marsalis, the Grammy Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning distinguished jazz and classical performer, who has recently been interviewed extensively for the documentary Jazz: A Film by Ken Burns, has agreed to perform live in a concert that will benefit the Book Industry Foundation (comprised of the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression -- ABFFE -- and the Association of American Publishers' -- AAP's -- "Get Caught Reading" campaign). Proceeds will also benefit the Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong Jazz Camp in New Orleans.

The concert, entitled Jazz in the Bittersweet Blues of Life: BEA's Evening With Wynton Marsalis, will take place at the Fairmont Hotel, 200 N. Columbus, Saturday, June 2, at 10:00 pm. Cost is $25 per ticket, and Da Capo Press/Perseus Books are co-sponsors of the event. Join colleagues, hear the sweet jazz sounds of a man who is clearly one of the world's finest musicians, and support your industry in the process.

Numerous other authors will be featured at the annual industry-wide book convention in many venues, including the traditional Author Breakfasts, as well as several luncheons and a new, special mid-afternoon tea gathering in cooperation with the Audio Publishers Association on Saturday, June 2.
