The INTERGENERATIONAL JAZZ POWER JAM FESTIVAL returns this June 2023, wrapping up Jazz Power Initiative’s concert series season in Uptown Manhattan. The Festival is a series of free public concerts at different Northern Manhattan locations connecting youth, seasoned artists and general audiences through the power of jazz. Please see events and dates below.
UPTOWN! A Latin jazz and swing FIESTA in Inwood Hill Park, features Steven Oquendo Latin Jazz Orchestra, Annette A. Aguilar and Stringbeans, and Zah!, Dr. E and Jazz Power.
Join us in partnership with the Jazz Foundation of America for an outdoor concert in the park with Havana native and master percussionist Joaquin Pozo y la Clave Suena. Pozo brings 35 years of experience and profound versatility to his vibrant performances. An innovator in Latin styles from rumba to jazz, Pozo leads this five-piece ensemble on journeys through Afro-Cuban rhythms.
Please feel free to bring chairs or blanket for your comfort.
