For many years the Branford Recreation Department provided free Sunday afternoon concerts on the Branford Town Green. Visitors could listen to everything from blues and country to big band and swing. Residents from the Community met with the board and suggested that the board could increase public interest by changing the musical focus to jazz and changing the event to a weeknight when more people are likely to attend and in turn, stimulate the local economy. The Board agreed and a committee was formed to guide the inaugural event that would begin in the summer of 2009 and run on consecutive Thursday nights from July 9 and thru August 20. The Branford Jazz Series continues for its fourth consecutive year in 2012 with nine shows in a row beginning on Thursday, June 28 and ending on Thursday, August 23. All shows will begin at 6:30pm. To date, the Branford Jazz on the Green Series is proud to announce the following sponsors:
