The Charlie Parker Jazz Festival returns to Manhattan this summer, celebrating the spirit of the jazz icon with shows both uptown and downtown that highlight titans of jazz as well as the next generation.

 

Night one is headlined by the acclaimed Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, under the music direction of alto saxophonist Sherman Irby, featuring special guests Marquis Hill and Ekep Nkwelle.

 

Special guests include Marquis Hill, who hails from Chicago, is one of the most exciting trumpet players working today and rising star Ekepe Nkwelle is a Cameroonian-American singer from Washington, D.C., who’s already performed on NPR’s Tiny Desk and been named first runner-up at the prestigious Sarah Vaughan International Jazz Voice Competition.

 

The first group is the Bill Saxton Harlem All-Stars, led by Harlem native Bill Saxton. The venerated tenor saxophonist has worked with many other music greats including Bobby Watson, Charles Tolliver, and Tito Puente. Charlie Parker’s influence on Bill can be heard in Saxton’s bebop vocabulary, swing, and fluent improvisational drive!

Night two is headlined by saxophonist Joshua Redman, the veteran bandleader, composer, and son of saxophonist Dewey Redman. As a sideman, Redman has worked with Christian McBride, Chick Corea, and McCoy Tyner Super Group, among many others.

 

Also joining the line up, musical icon Nat Adderley Jr, a pianist who worked closely with Luther Vandross as his music director and co-writer; he also happens to be in the lineage of composer and trumpet/cornet player Nat Adderley and alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley.

 

Also featured is Catherine Russell, the Grammy Award-winning vocalist, best known for her 2016 solo album Harlem on My Mind; she also spent years touring with artists including David Bowie and Steely Dan.  Opening the show is saxophonist Nicole Glover, a rising star whose powerful tenor sound has drawn praise from jazz critics and legends alike.

 

A member of Christian McBride’s Ursa Major and supergroup ARTEMIS, Glover represents the next generation of artists carrying forward the jazz tradition.  Multi-talented DJ and producer of Milestones: Celebrating the Culture podcast Angélika Beener aka DJ Kultured Child is on the ones and twos.

 

 

#Ravi Coltrane / Billy Hart Quartet / Kassa Overall / Vanisha Gould

August 30 @ 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm

Tompkins Square Park: E 10th St, New York, NY 10009

 

Night three is headlined by Ravi Coltrane, the saxophonist son of John and Alice Coltrane, two legendary artists who helped shape modern jazz. An accomplished artist in his own right, Coltrane released six albums as a bandleader between 1998-2012, and was part of the Blue Note 7, a supergroup assembled to honor the 70th Anniversary of Blue Note Records, which recorded the 2009 album Mosaic.

 

Coltrane has collaborated with a wide array of artists, including Steve Coleman, Elvin Jones, Tisziji Muñoz, Brandee Younger, his mom Alice, and his cousin Flying Lotus. The line up also includes the Billy Hart Quartet, a critic’s favorite for over 20 years. Led by the eponymous bandleader and 2022 NEA Jazz Master. Hart is on over 500 records as a sideman including Miles Davis and Wayne Shorter; he was also in the working bands of Wes Montgomery, Herbie Hancock, McCoy Tyner, Pharoah Sanders, and Stan Getz.

 

Also performing is Kassa Overall, a drummer, producer, rapper, and bandleader from Seattle who has worked with Coltrane, Christian McBride, and Geri Allen;. GRAMMY award-winner Terri Lyne Carrington once described him as “pre-eminent style bender and blender…using melodic and harmonic forms that deftly integrate the new with the old.”

 

Opening the show is Vanisha Gould,  a vocalist, composer, and bandleader who has been embedded in the New York City jazz scene since 2015. She’s released three studio albums as a bandleader since 2021; NPR’s Nate Chinen called her “a major talent who combines a blues cry with a storyteller’s point of view.”
