Soul at Epcot

[Cmdr_Crimson]

A perfect way to gather positive guest feedback which could lead Disney into adding another EP event.... Jazz Soul Festival.

They did it as a one day event at DLP called Disney loves Jazz..

That was fast-tracked! I don't know whether to be impressed or worried. Hope it's a proper celebration and not something slapped together JUST to promote a movie.

I wouldn't worry about it. It's an area in AA for occasional exhibits that get switched up. Like Stave Church in Norway. Besides, watch the video. It sounds like its a traveling exhibit to several cities. It's temporary.

It already fits the Festival of the Arts. And they could have a jazz ensemble right outside in the outdoor theater.

Except this IP explores the type of heavy stuff I thought we wanted Epcot to explore.

Facts.

Yes. But thats entirely different from having a park wide Jazz festival event. I think youd see a lot of interest in having it on a larger scale. In my area they had, pre covid, a couple of Jazz festivals that drew in a lot more people than ever anticipated. It gave people who never thought they would like that form of music a better appreciation for the style and interest in the history of Jazz.

Both Garden and F&W get (nostalgic) pop rock acts. It would be nice if one of those festivals switched to Jazz.

Arts gets Broadway (but not this year, which is way a single band playing historical jazz standards would jibe perfectly with Arts and the new jazz exhibit).

Holiday Festival gets Candlelight.
