The 2025-2026 Jazz Series
The 2025–2026 Jazz Series offers perspectives through time and culture that ground the listener in what came before and explore where jazz is evolving. From personal interpretations of jazz giants to living legends reuniting on our stage to fresh international artists defining their take on jazz, this season will entertain, exhilarate, and edify.
Highlights of the series include the “distinctive musical alchemy” (Jazzwise) of supergroup HIROMI’S Sonicwonder and a musical celebration of Miles Davis and John Coltrane’s centennials by Emmet Cohen’s Trio plus special guests Tivon Pennicott, saxophone and Jeremy Pelt, trumpet. The season is bookended by Brazilian singer-songwriter Luedji Luna’s samba/afoxé/jazz/R&B infusion in September and by the reunion of Cuban jazz legends Chucho Valdés & Paquito D’Rivera in April, celebrating 60 years of friendship and music. In between, Samara Joy—2025 GRAMMY winner for Best Jazz Vocal Album and one of the defining voices in jazz today, returns to our stage for the second time.
