Charlie Parker Jazz Festival: Joshua Redman / Nat Adderley Jr. / Catherine Russell / Nicole Glover / DJ Kultured Child

SummerStage at Marcus Garvey Park • Harlem •

INSTRUMENTS

#trumpet

The Charlie Parker Jazz Festival returns to Manhattan this summer, celebrating the spirit of the jazz icon with shows both uptown and downtown that highlight titans of jazz as well as the next generation. Night two is headlined by saxophonist Joshua Redman, the veteran bandleader, composer, and son of saxophonist Dewey Redman. As a sideman, Redman has worked with Christian McBride, Chick Corea, and McCoy Tyner Super Group, among many others. Also joining the line up, musical icon Nat Adderley Jr, a pianist who worked closely with Luther Vandross as his music director and co-writer; he also happens to be in the lineage of composer and trumpet/cornet player Nat Adderley and alto saxophonist Cannonball Adderley. Also featured is Catherine Russell, the Grammy Award-winning vocalist, best known for her 2016 solo album Harlem on My Mind ; she also spent years touring with artists including David Bowie and Steely Dan. Opening the show is saxophonist Nicole Glover, a rising star whose powerful tenor sound has drawn praise from jazz critics and legends alike. A member of Christian McBride’s Ursa Major and supergroup ARTEMIS, Glover represents the next generation of artists carrying forward the jazz tradition. Multi-talented DJ and producer of Milestones: Celebrating the Culture podcast Angélika Beener aka DJ Kultured Child is on the ones and twos.

Chaos In The CBD, Joe Claussell, Floorplan, & more [Day & Night]

The Ruins at Knockdown Center • Maspeth •

Chaos In The CBD returns to the venue for Dust Till Dawn on Aug 29, joined by a lineup that showcases some of the all-time greats alongside new defining voices in the scene. The New Zealand duo made a huge splash last year with "A Deeper Life," a career-high LP that capped off a fifteen-years-and-counting run as one of the most beloved acts in house music today. This all day affair starts in The Ruins as the sun fades into dusk and continues the party into the Main Hall till' dawn. In the ruins, the beloved duo Chaos in the CBD delivers their classic groove that the dancers will not want to miss. They're joined by house music pillar Joe Claussell—one of the seminal voices whose work defined the NY sound. Since the '90s, his timeless productions and euphoric sets have reached spiritual heights. London's Shy One reinvents the genre with a fresh take on mercurial, jazzy and jacking house. This year's "Mali" is a landmark release from one of the most exciting new voices. For the night, we're blessed with another set from Chaos. Giving the people another set of their feel-good melodies. The same can be said for Robert Hood, the originating force behind Floorplan. This Detroit techno innovator has a near-peerless discography dating back to 1991. The Floorplan project now includes his daughter Lyric Hood, and as a duo they've brought a fresh life to his gospel-house masterclasses. First Floor member, Suze Ijó, debuts her exceptional curational skills in the main hall. DJ Ray and Miami's Extra Andrew wrap it up with a special sun-kissed b2b. Knockdown Center
