A yearly event showcasing poetry readings and jazz performances is back in Mobile. The annual Gulf Coast Ethnic and Heritage Jazz Festival kicks off on July 25 and runs through July 28. The experience is billed as a celebration of the rich history of jazz and art in the Port City and is meant to promote different types of jazz styles like Southern swing, Latin and bebop.
