Blues Jam

1 upcoming performance in New York

Blues Jam is a live jazz set staged at Jazz at Lincoln Center, one of New York City’s anchor institutions for the music. The evening folds blues language into a broader modern-jazz context, with featured artists including Etienne Charles (Folklore LIVE Vol. 2), Hamilton de Holanda, Kingfish’s Blues Jam, and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. In a city where jam sessions have long served as both workshop and proving ground, the format matters as much as the names. The clearest critical point is that the program treats improvisation as public conversation rather than display.
