He has led and presented in numerous workshops, talks, and demonstrations about Dominican folk music at universities and various cultural centers.

Join us for a summer afternoon of live jazz at the 18th Annual Stan Michels Jazz Festival, honoring the legacy of longtime NYC Council Member Stan Michels. This free outdoor concert features a stellar lineup of local jazz greats in one of Manhattan’s most scenic settings.
Headlining the event is Marjorie Eliot and her Ensemble, celebrated citywide for her legendary “Parlor Jazz” concerts, which she has hosted every Sunday for more than a decade—rain or shine—without a single break. From her apartment on the northern tip of Harlem, Eliot has created a cultural haven for jazz lovers, and she brings that spirit to the Stan Michels Promenade every year.
Location: Stan Michels Promenade (enter at Margaret Corbin Circle and walk north through the Heather Garden)
Free and open to the public. All ages welcome.
