The sound of jazz filled the air in Southfield the weekend of August 9th and 10th — all part of the annual Kimmie Horne Jazz Festival, one of the city’s premier events. Marking its 8th year, the popular festival attracted some 7,000 jazz lovers who gathered on the lawn of the Municipal Center to hear renowned performers, including Freda Payne, Duane Parham and other musical talent. The event is the inspiration of Horne and producer Michael Cash, whose goal is to bring the gift of music to the community.
