The 2026 festival celebrates the many voices, histories, and musical traditions that continue to shape jazz in America today. Highlights include the Afro-Cuban sounds of Sí o Sí Quartet led by Cuban-born MacArthur Fellow and GRAMMY-winning drummer Dafnis Prieto, a new Hudson Hall commission by South African vocalist Vuyo Sotashe and pianist Chris Pattishall, and a closing performance by acclaimed vocalist Shenel Johns, a talent praised by the Boston Globe as “history in the making”.
