Festival to feature jazz on boulevard

   Camp Bowie will get jazzed up this weekend with the Jazz by the Boulevard Festival.
   To celebrate, the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth will hold Jazz by the Boulevard Film Festival showing three jazz films from the 1960s in the museum's auditorium.
   The films include The Ornette Coleman Trio (1966), Monk in Oslo (1966) about Thelonious Monk and Sound?? (1967) featuring Rahsaan Kirk and John Cage.
   All films are shown between 12:30-4:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 19-20.
   A street festival will offer various kinds of music and art with talent coming from local artists and schools.
   Craftsmen will give demonstrations on how they create musical instruments and art, all of which are made by professionals. Proceeds from all purchases will go to the Fort Worth ISD.
   Participants can receive free instruction in salsa, jazz, flamenco and tap dancing. Workshops with professional performers interacting with aspiring musicians and artists will also be given.
   Festival admission is free though a donation is recommended. Event organizers say the festival will occur, rain or shine. Tables can be reserved for a nominal fee.
   The festival is sponsored by Camp Bowie Initiatives, who wants to preserve and assist in revitalizing the district.
