Stanley Clarke SummerStage

Stanley Clarke headlines the night at the show from SummerStage and the Blue Note Jazz Festival.

Multiple generations of jazz innovators will be on stage in Central Park for this FREE concert from SummerStage in association with the Blue Note Jazz Festival. 

Artists include: 

• Stanley Clarke n 4Ever - Headlining is bassist, composer, and jazz fusion pioneer Stanley Clarke with his 4Ever band, renowned for his unique percussive electric bass playing style; the five-time GRAMMY winner was named a Jazz Master by the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) in 2022.
• Kenny Garrett - GRAMMY winner Kenny Garrett is a post-bop saxophonist, flutist, and composer who cut his teeth as a youth in the Duke Ellington Orchestra and shined as a member of Miles Davis’ band in the late 80s-early 90s; he too, is a newly minted NEA Jazz Master.
• Brandee Younger -  Arguably contemporary jazz’s most formidable harpist. The GRAMMY-nominated composer, curator, and NYU professor seamlessly injects the harp into arrangements and venues where it has historically been overlooked.
• DJ Logic -  A Bronx-born nu-jazz turntablist will support the show.

This show will feature a special performance in collaboration with Works & Process from Ladies of Hip-Hop Dance Collective. 

This is a FREE event.
