More than 30,000 people will see 72 musical acts on 22 stages over three days this week in St. And the musicians are paid. The only person who works full-time for the TC Jazz Fest, co-founder and executive director Heckler farms out responsibilities to part-time contractors and 200 volunteers who help stage the festival, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. And he has committee after committee of volunteers who help with everything from booking talent to ensuring diversity. My motive is to bring people together around the common theme of jazz as opposed to the other way around. Concentrated in the Lowertown area of St. Paul, it features a main stage in the lushly landscaped Mears Park. Food trucks and beverage vendors surround the park, not to mention several popular restaurants, bars and clubs within walking distance. Music at Mears happens rain or shine. Over the years, only one night of the Jazz Fest has ever been rained out. Headliners this year are saxophonist Tia Fuller, a Berklee College of Music professor who has toured with Beyoncé; veteran saxophonist Houston Person, who will play with the Emmet Cohen Trio; and vocalist Dee Dee Bridgewater, a Grammy and Tony winner who was named a 2017 National Endowment for the Arts Jazz Master. He also served as director of the Festival of Nations for eight years. Heckler got hooked on jazz as a teenager. Santana and Canned Heat. I had no idea who Return to Forever were. What did we see?! About one-third of the budget comes from sponsors. A contracted firm sells the sponsorships for the festival, taking a percentage of what it raises. Sometimes Heckler, a tireless networker and skilled schmoozer, will don a coat and tie to close the deal if necessary. Sponsors sign on for one year at a time, which makes budgeting a challenge and delays booking of big names until late fall. Grants from foundations and other nonprofits are another important revenue source. Hence, Thursday has no big-name headliner, just an abbreviated schedule of local jazz performers on a limited number of stages. One new wrinkle this year is a low-budget, big-reward endeavor with historian Bob DeFlores showing his vintage jazz films of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie and others at the TPT building, an indoor venue with chairs and air conditioning. To help fund the annual event, the Jazz Fest also collects profits from beverage and merchandise sales as well as fees and percentages from food-truck vendors. And we go to wealthy people in town. And we count the 150 VIP tickets as donations. Some stages are outdoors; most are inside. In all cases, admission is free and the musicians are paid, save for the student performers. It began innocently enough with eight jazz fans, including Heckler, approaching the Minneapolis Downtown Council about having a jazz night as part of its Live After Five series on Peavey Plaza in 1999. So the next year the one-day event became the Hot Summer Jazz Festival and then incorporated as a nonprofit in 2001 with a three-day affair. In 2004, the event expanded to embrace downtown St. In fall 2008, the board of directors decided to pull the plug on the festival, after making cutbacks and losing money. However, two months later, Joe Spencer, then St. With help from the city of St. Paul, the Winter Carnival and the newly formed Lowertown Entertainment District organization, the fest rebounded. With less planning and a smaller budget than usual, Heckler booked New Orleans pop-soul legend Allen Toussaint and rising jazz newcomer Esperanza Spalding and set up Mears Park with enough portable toilets and food and beer vendors for 1,000 people.
