Jazz is Coming Back to Water Street

Catch a Slice of Contemporary Jazz on Water Street

The Jazz Series is back at the Water Street Plaza Amphitheater from September 22nd through September 24th. Enjoy three nights of spectacular jazz performances in a beautiful outdoor setting. This year's lineup includes three contemporary artists you won't want to miss: Brandee Younger, Jumaane Smith, and the Lao Tizer Band.


Brandee Younger:

Brandee Younger, an innovative harpist, is reshaping the harp for the digital age. Over 15 years, she's pushed the boundaries for harpists, earning Grammy and NAACP Image Award nominations in 2022. Collaborating with cultural icons like Common and Lauryn Hill, her latest album "Brand New Life" celebrates her musical influences and charts new artistic, personal, political, and spiritual paths. The New York Times hails her as a modern harp pioneer, and she won the DownBeat Critics Poll's "Rising Star" harpist in 2020. Her presence in contemporary jazz is evident through her side work and curatorial efforts, honoring the legacies of black women harpists Dorothy Ashby and Alice Coltrane.


Jumaane Smith:

Jumaane Smith, a versatile artist as a jazz trumpeter, vocalist, and composer, boasts an impressive resume. He's contributed to the success of five GRAMMY Award-winning records, collectively selling over 60 million copies, and earned two Emmy Award nominations for his TV performances. Notably, he's shared the stage at the GRAMMY Awards with Stevie Wonder and appeared in Steven Spielberg's "West Side Story." For the past 17 years, Smith has been the lead trumpeter and vocalist during extensive tours and recording sessions with Michael Buble. His own band has graced renowned venues worldwide, including Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Vail Jazz Festival, Java Jazz Festival, Loew's Regency, North Star Festival, Joe's Pub, Rochester International Jazz Festival, Catalina Island Jazz Festival, and many others.


Lao Tizer Band:

Nominees for "Jazz Group of the Year," THE LAO TIZER BAND featuring Eric Marienthal, Karen Briggs, and Elliott Yamin, will make their debut appearance at the Water Street Plaza Amphitheater on Sunday, September 24. This performance supports their latest release, "Songs From The Swinghouse," which has earned a spot in the Billboard Jazz Top 10. Led by accomplished keyboardist and composer Lao Tizer, a former nominee for "Best New Jazz Artist" known for his work with Special EFX and Down To The Bone, the band includes American Idol sensation Elliott Yamin, the exceptional violinist Karen Briggs (known for collaborations with Yanni, Chaka Khan, and Diana Ross), Grammy-winning saxophone legend Eric Marienthal (with credits including Chick Corea and the Rippingtons), Grammy-winning drum virtuoso Gene Coye (known for collaborations with Terence Blanchard, Hiromi, and Larry Carlton), Grammy-winning percussion maestro Munyungo Jackson (recognized for his work with Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, and Herbie Hancock), and the talented Senegalese bassist, composer, and producer Cheikh N'Doye, known for his work with Baaba Maal and Mike Stern.
