3rd Annual Zachary Breaux Jazz Festival
500 Proctor Street
Port Arthur, TX 77641
Zachary Breaux tempered a southern-style blues tradition with a combination of funk and hip-hop. One critic described Breaux as playing with a bluesy style, with lots of warmth while using an economy of notes. In the short time before his death, Breaux produced three {3} CDs which displayed his original sound as well as his musical versatility. Breaux composed, arranged and performed virtually all of the music for his CDs, relying very rarely on additional accompaniment. He died tragically in 1997 attempting to save someone from drowning while on vacation with his family in Miami.
This festival is in honor of his memory, and the music he loved.
