The multi-day event will be here on Sunday, Aug. 24, from 3-7 p.m. (A DJ will start at 2 p.m.)
Here is this year's lineup (hit this link for details on the performers):
• Bill Charlap / Dee Dee Bridgewater
• Gary Bartz and NTU Troop
• Jazz Gallery Allstars
• Lucía
If you're a big Parker fan, there are many other events taking place around the city beginning on Sunday.
The festival, which started in Tompkins Square Park in 1993, holds a significant place in the jazz community. It takes place near or on Parker's birthday on Aug. 29. Additional dates were added in Harlem in 2000, further expanding its reach.
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.
