"For the past twenty years, the city of Wangaratta has played a critical role in the development of jazz in this country. Its annual Festival has helped nurture a generation of talented musicians, and provided a forum for experimentation; and in doing so has challenged audiences to expand their musical horizons. For those of us who have followed the Festival from its infancy, it’s been an incredible journey. I know I speak for many in wishing Wangaratta Jazz every success for its next twenty years." Des Cowley, Rythms Magazine 2009
