A busy night of music features three or four bands tops, but the Greater Madison Jazz Consortium’s final “jazz stroll” of the year boasts a whopping nine instrumental and vocal jazz bands over a seven-hour stretch. Performers include the Stellanovas, the Kid Jordan Second Line, the Big Payback (pictured) and Tony Castañeda’s Latin Jazz Sextet.
