Hear the best in jazz

It’s all in the mix. Whatever jazz means to you, you’ll find it at NJPAC. Does it mean the American Songbook, or the rhythms of salsa? Maybe contemporary jazz is more your style? This November, we celebrate all the sounds of jazz.

After 14 years of being Jazz Advisor here at NJPAC, it amazes me how each year this festival just gets better and bigger. I’m so excited about this year – the lineup is stacked! To bring together people like Vernon Reid, George Clinton and Dianne Reeves, and to get to play with my own big band? It’s a season of diamonds and pearls!
