On Tuesday, April 5th, details about the 2016 Atlanta Jazz Festival were announced at a press conference at Atlanta City Hall with Mayor Kasim Reed.
“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. “As our city becomes more international and our population
younger, we are booking the festival to welcome these new audiences. From the soulful groove of Gregory Porter, the
hip-hop inspired brass of Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, and the sensuous stylings of
Brazilian songstress Eliane Elias, we’ve got a wide variety of jazz flavors on
three stages. And admission is free! Make plans now to join us for the 39th
Annual Atlanta Jazz Festival in Piedmont Park over Memorial Day Weekend, May
27-29.”
