The festival begins on May 31 and continues until July 2. Venues for this year’s Blue Note Jazz Festival include the Beacon Theatre, Sony Hall, Town Hall, SummerStage in Central Park, Celebrate Brooklyn at the Prospect Park Bandshell, and the Blue Note Jazz Club itself in Greenwich Village.

A number of artists are scheduled to perform at the Festival including Grace Jones, Pat Metheny, NxWorries, Robert Glasper, BJ The Chicago Kid, Bruce Hornsby & The Noisemakers, and more. The festival will open at the Hammerstein Ballroom with a performance by the great Grace Jones. While Jazz music is an inspiration behind the festival, the Blue Note continues to broaden its offerings, highlighting all musical styles, backgrounds, and cultures. Additionally, a number of celebrities have made appearances at the Blue Note. Stevie Wonder, Tony Bennett, Quincy Jones, Liza Minelli, Dave Chapelle, and Chris Rock have made appearances, among others.

Since 1981, the Blue Note Jazz Club has been recognized for its artistic integrity, commitment to showcasing diverse and genre-spanning artists, and a long-running community of music lovers and friends built within its storied walls. The club is committed to preserving the history of Jazz while simultaneously showcasing new talent. In addition to highlighting new talent, the club has been known for iconic appearances from Chick Corea, McCoy Tyler, Joe Lovano, John Scofield, and Chris Botti. In 2011, the Blue Note Jazz Festival brand was established. It has since become the largest Jazz festival in New York City.
