Universal Temple of the Arts Staten Island JAZZ Festival returns to the St. George Theatre for its 36th rendition of jazz excellence on Friday, December 20, 2024, from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm, featuring a very dynamic and charismatic set of performances by next-generation jazz musicians who reflect the diverse tapestry of jazz and its evolution. Esteemed saxophonist, composer, and vocalist Camille Thurman will perform with her Quartet; Innovative harpist Brandee Younger; Regal vocalist Alicia Olatuja's Ensemble; and the 3-time Grammy-nominated saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin and her Ensemble. The festival will also honor two extraordinary women who have made significant contributions to the jazz world: Tracy Hyyter-Suffern, Director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem, and Robin Bell-Stevens, Executive Director of Jazz Mobile. Hosted by WBGO 88.3 FM on-air personality Sheila E. Anderson and curated by UTA's Musical Director, Dr. Darrell Smith, this festival promises a joyful, hip, eclectic night of jazz in a beautiful historic theatre -- only a Staten Island Ferry ride away and accessible by car throughout the tri-state area.
