LiveDAYBREAK Presents the Hot House West Jazz Fest 2026

Ten hours, eight acts, workshops, open jams, and family activities — Utah’s premier jazz festival is free for everyone. Last year we set out to build Utah's premier jazz festival. This year we're raising the bar: ten straight hours of live music, eight acts spanning big band, western swing, soul, modern jazz, and music for the whole family — all in one of the best gathering spots right in the middle of Salt Lake and Utah Valley. And, the best part, we are making it free! Now the fun bit. Without further ado, here is our 2026 Lineup! 12:00 – Blue Note Big Band (Mountain Top Institute) 12:50 – The Western Stars 2:00 – The Jazz Trombone Collective 3:10 – Critical Hit Collective 4:20 – Mina Thomas Brett & Old Soul 5:30 – Alessandro Fadini Quartet feat.
