About this Performance
Summer’s biggest party is back—now with a new partner! Since 1979, the two-day jazz festival has been a summer staple for adventurous listeners and fun-loving music fans in Los Angeles. In our first season with the Blue Note Jazz Club, you can go far out with jazz heroes like Lakecia Benjamin (whose Coltrane album you have to hear) or Joe Lovano’s excellent improv group the Paramount Quartet. NEA Jazz Master Dee Dee Bridgewater teams up with Grammy-winning pianist Bill Charlap, brass band royalty The Soul Rebels bring a little of that NOLA second-line spirit, and trumpeter Keyon Harrold shows why he was chosen to play Miles Davis’ parts in the Don Cheadle film Miles Ahead.
It’s all crowned by full-length headlining sets from disco queen Grace Jones, rock and funk legends The Isley Brothers, hip-hop gamechangers De La Soul, and next-generation talent WILLOW.
Plus, the famous rotating stage makes sure the party keeps going from the first notes to the last. Bring your dancing shoes, get ready to vibe out, and prepare yourself to get lost in glorious improv. No matter how you do it, there’s nothing like the Blue Note Jazz Festival.
