Each year they bring such star-studded talent to Miami- it is in Miami Gardens. This year there is so many great talents. I\u2019ll start out with one of the big names and that\u2019s Anita Baker,\u201d said Kinnard.<\/p>\n<p>Baker is ending her touring career in Miami and she will perform Sunday night.<\/p>\n<p>Other artists booked through the weekend include Chaka Kahn, Fantasia and the legendary singer\/songwriter and Motown producer Smokey Robinson. Robinson is credited with recording some 4,000 songs and 37 top 40 hits.<\/p>\n<p>Petrillo caught up with the music legend at the Miami launch of his new self-titled vintage wines.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese wines are wines I actually like. If I know I\u2019m going to drink something because I\u2019m not a big drinker, I want something that I would like and that, more importantly, everyone is going to like. I really love these wines and I\u2019m proud of them,\u201d Robinson said.<\/p>\n<p>Robinson will take to the stage Saturday evening. CBS4\u2019s Lisa Petrillo asked if it\u2019s still a thrill for him every time he performs live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t find a replacement for it. I retired for 3 years. I was climbing the walls. It\u2019s the one thing I love to do. I still get a thrill and find such joy in it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Organizers anticipate some 70,000 festivalgoers through the weekend which also includes food and vendors. It\u2019s money into the local economy and it\u2019s good news about Miami Gardens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the good stuff. Good stuff is happening in Miami Gardens and that\u2019s one of the things from a community standpoint. We want to let people know there\u2019s a lot going in Miami Gardens,\u201d said Kinnard.<\/p>\n<p>Jazz in the Gardens officially kicks off Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m. For ticket info visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jazzinthegardens.com\/\">www.jazzinthegardens.com .<\/a>\u00a0For more information on Smokey Robinson\u2019s wines, visit\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/smokeyrobinsonwines.com\/\">www.smokeyrobinsonwines.com<\/a>\u00a0.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/miami.cbslocal.com\/2018\/03\/16\/jazz-florida-music-festival-miami-gardens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SOURCE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MIAMI (CBSMiami) \u2014 The festival that has been dubbed as the fastest growing jazz and R&amp;B festival in the U.S. is back on this weekend at the Hard Rock Stadium as the 13th Annual Jazz in the Gardens Music Fest.
