Jazz Fest gets interactive

The Jazz Fest has entered the 21st Century and will send some of the performances and interviews right to your computer.

Excerpt from the Detroit News:

For years, music fans who couldn't make it to downtown Detroit over Labor Day weekend have bemoaned the fact that the Detroit International Jazz Festival was no longer aired live on Detroit TV.

This year, you'll be able to watch some performances and artist interviews at the jazz festival -- via your computer.

The September festival is ramping up its interactive presence with Jazz Planet.tv. Downtown, especially the Campus Martius Jazz Planet stage, will be swarming with video cameras and Skyping video journalists.
