About this Performance⁣
⁣
One sure sign that summer’s in full swing: the sweet sounds of jazz, funk, R&B, and more bursting out of the Bowl. The Blue Note Jazz Festival is back, and with it a whole bunch of our favorite artists from around the musical world.⁣
⁣
For decades, the annual jazz festival has been one of the first—and biggest—events on the Hollywood Bowl’s summer calendar. Even as it’s evolved, it’s remained one of the biggest parties anywhere, a non-stop dance-a-thon powered by a rotating stage that keeps the music going at all times.⁣
⁣
This year, Godmother of Soul Patti LaBelle graces us with her presence, Wyclef Jean brings the carnival, singer Gregory Porter takes us all to new heights, and next-generation star Samara Joy treats us to classic jazz. All of that and a whole lot more!⁣
⁣
Pack up your cooler, lace up your dancing shoes, and get ready for a kickoff party like no other!⁣
