Our yearly jazz festival returns with partner events and our main festival performances in Marcus Garvey Park and Tompkins Square Park - where Parker worked and lived. Enjoy FREE jazz featuring some of the finest musicians in the world, all assembled to reflect "the Bird's" musical individuality and genius. Following five days of exhilarating partner events planned around the city, including film screenings, artist talks, and listening sessions, the Festival will officially kick off on Friday, August 25 in Harlem's Marcus Garvey Park, with Orrin Evans and his Captain Black Big Band featuring GRAMMY-winning singer Lisa Fischer who's performed with the likes of The Rolling Stones, Luther Vandross, and Tina Turner, presented in association with Jazzmobile.
