You can purchase the right ticket and get there early, meet the performers, before you take a seat for a Jazz Fest of a lifetime.

Continuing the history of the neighborhood, a group of jazz artists, broadway performers, Blue Note recording artists like James Spaulding, Trombonist/Euphonist Kiane Zawadi, vocalist Keisha St. James, Boncellia Lewis, Greg Bandy and Bobby Sanabria connect in a tradition that’s diminished, but clearly not lost, with a style of life from an earlier time.
