2016 Atlanta Jazz Festival May 27-29
Music lineup features Latin, Creole, Straight-Ahead and Hip-Hop inspired artists.
Atlanta, GA – Atlanta has hosted its Jazz Festival since 1978, bringing some of the greatest names in jazz to play each year. As the city’s population has become more international and younger, the festival has reached out to a wider range of performers to welcome and satisfy new audiences.
“We are excited about the lineup for this year’s Atlanta Jazz Festival,” says Camille Russell Love, Executive Director of the City of Atlanta Mayor’s Office of Cultural Affairs. From the soulful groove of Gregory Porter, the hip-hop inspired brass of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, and the sensuous stylings of Brazilian songstress Elaine Elias, the 39th Annual Atlanta Jazz Festival offers a wide variety of jazz flavors on three stages.
The festival will be held in Piedmont Park over Memorial Day Weekend, May 27-29, 2016. Admission to all performances is free. For more details and performance schedules, visit www.facebook.com/atlantajazzfestival.
