INEVENTS MONROEVILLE JAZZ FESTIVAL The 17th annual Monroeville Jazz Festival took place on Saturday, Aug. 17, from 2:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the Tall Trees Amphitheater in Monroeville Community Park West. This year, the festival became part of The Monroeville Foundation—a group that, with community and business support, looks forward to making the event bigger and better. Thanks to its founder, Chuck Summerville, the annual jazz festival has become an important part of the Monroeville cultural community. With his retirement, The Monroeville Foundation is assuming the role that he performed so well for so many years, that of producing and facilitating this wonderful event. Summerville has made the Monroeville Jazz Festival a part of our region’s heritage and the foundation looks forward to maintaining and expanding the tradition. PHOTOS BY PRIMETIME SHOTS, INC.
