A free nightly jazz festival getting underway this week in Wilmington pays tribute to a Delaware musical legend.
The Clifford Brown Jazz Festival takes place each night this week on Rodney Square in downtown Wilmington. All performances are rain or shine, and are free of charge.
The festival is named after Wilmington native Clifford Brown, a trumpeter who died in a crash on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in 1956. He was 25 years old. The festival started in 1989.
