Jazz Festival Coming To Pattaya

There is a jazz festival coming to Pattaya on December 11th and 12th to celebrate His Majesty's 80th birthday. (He's a big jazz fan/musician/composer.) Apparently the festival is going to visit Chiang Mai, Phuket and Bangkok as well. Location in Pattaya yet to be determined apparently.

I can't track down any information or website on the festival itself, but here is Pattaya City News on the story:

The event has been organized by the Tourism Authority of Thailand and is being held to celebrate the 80th Birthday of His Majesty the King.

Kenny G, McCoy Tyner, Nancy Wilson, Chris Botti, The Regina Carter Quintet, and The Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Big Band are just some of the artists taking part in the event which will be held here in Pattaya and also in Chang Mai, Phuket and Bangkok.

Here in Pattaya, there will be two days of music between 11th and 12th December. The music featured at the event will include compositions from His Majesty.
