Winter JazzFest

New York City's Winter Jazzfest, now in its 21st year, is an eagerly anticipated event, happening right on our doorstep from January 9 - 15, 2025. Transforming the city into a jazz lover's paradise, JazzFest is a.showcase of both the timeless and the avant-garde, centered in our neighborhood near Lincoln Center. The festival spreads across various venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn, including a jazz marathon across eight venues. 

Last year's festival highlighted the artist-in-residence Shabaka, performing in six different configurations, alongside a star-studded array of musicians like esperanza spalding, Joe Lovano, and many others. Special themed concerts, tributes, and unique collaborations will also take center stage, as Jazz at Lincoln Center, situated conveniently across from the Empire Hotel, will join the festivities with a dedicated event during the Jazz Congress conference. This array of performances is set against the backdrop of New York's most iconic venues, offering an immersive jazz experience for aficionados and newcomers alike.
