This year's program is headlined by saxophonist Ravi Coltrane, the son of jazz legends John and Alice Coltrane — and an accomplished bandleader and collaborator in his own right.
The afternoon also includes performances by the Billy Hart Quartet, Kassa Overall and Vanisha Gould.
The music is scheduled from 3 to 7 p.m. Find more details here.
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 — and for sale.
