Organizer Tim  Hancock (at far right in photo, right) of Jazz Tyme Productions, LLC, says he was “overwhelmed” by the outpouring of public support at the second Wesley Chapel (WC) Jazz Festival — which was held on May 23 at the Wesley Chapel District Park on Boyette Rd.

Despite sweltering mid-90s heat, the rains held off this time as Hancock (who had to postpone the original second Jazz Festival in March because heavy rains wiped out the event) and his talented friends got a break from Mother Nature as the Festival ran its full length (from noon-8 p.m.) and an estimated crowd of 4,500-5,000 people enjoyed the family-friendly event — more than tripling the crowd for the first WC Jazz Festival held Aug. 29 of last year!

The entertainment was top-notch and ranged from an a cappella duet to Hancock’s headlining Abnique & Friends. About two dozen food, beverage and business vendors helped make the Festival a hit for everyone.
