The 2024 Charlie Parker Jazz Festival artwork by Lily Qian
ICYMI... The 32nd edition of the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival is this weekend ... the annual tribute to the saxophonist includes several free live jazz performances.
The Saturday portion of the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival is in Marcus Garvey Park from 3 to 7 p.m. If you're planning a Manhattan road trip, find more info at this link.
And we've mentioned the Tompkins Square Park portion of the fest tomorrow (Sunday).
Here's part of Sunday's lineup:
... the newly minted (2023) Jazz Master Louis Hayes is joined by some of the more impressive talents in modern jazz. Hayes, a one-time member of McCoy Tyner’s trio, has been leading bands since he was a teenager in 1950s Detroit, recorded with John Coltrane and Yusef Lateer, and did stints in quartets with Horace Silver and Cannonball Adderley, as well as time with the Oscar Peterson Trio. He’s supported by the 24-year-old Cameroonian-American jazz vocalist Ekep Nkwelle, a Juilliard grad and rising star of Jazz at Lincoln Center, and Alexis Lombre, the Chicago-born pianist, vocalist, and composer whose 2017 debut Southside Sounds pays homage to her home’s artistic and cultural heritage.
Find the full rundown here.
Also tomorrow: From 8 p.m. to midnight, there's a Charlie Parker Jazz Festival After Party at Nublu on Avenue C. Details here.
Parker, who died in 1955 at age 34, lived at 151 Avenue B from 1950 to 1954. That residential building, between Ninth Street and 10th Street, is landmarked.
