Houston, Texas - The Houston International Jazz Festival kicks-off its 14th year with a highly anticipated appearance at The Red Cat Jazz Cafe with Texas Jazz Legend Bubbha Thomas. Designated as the “Official Club" of the Festival, the month of July is filled with a series of scheduled performances at The Red Cat. Beginning Tuesday, July 6th, Bubbha and his band will make scheduled appearances which are designed to bring focus to Houston's premier Jazz Festival and The Red Cat Jazz Cafe. Another important element of Bubbha Thomas' debut at The Club is the release of his 10th CD entitled Love Ain't Enough on the Lightin' Records Label.

The Red Cat serves as the launching pad for the release of Love Ain't Enough. As the “Official Jazz Club" of the 14th Annual Houston International Jazz Festival, 2004 is the first year the Festival has had an official endorsement from a Club. At various times, airlines, hotels, radio stations, corporations and other types of businesses have served as major sponsors. The Red Cat Jazz Cafe's involvement in this year's Festival adds another in a series of positive aspects to the success of the event. Bubbha Thomas' appearance establishes another landmark first for the Festival as well.

Friday, July 30th begins a weekend of jazz with a Festival Kick-Off Party at The Red Cat Jazz Cafe. Phenomenal musical entertainment is then on tap for Jones Plaza with Latin Jazz on Saturday, July 31st and an evening of Smooth Jazz on Sunday, August 1st. A Festival After Party is scheduled following the Saturday night array of activities at The Red Cat Jazz Cafe.
