Montclair Jazz Festival 2021
ByThe first Montclair Jazz Festival took place on a small grass stage in 2010 in Nishuane Park and featured summer workshop students and faculty. Over the years the festival continued to grow to include renowned jazz artist from around the world. This year the location of the festival moved to downtown Montclair. The main street of Montclair was anchored at both ends with large stages and in between were artisans with various products and food. Also, there were two smaller stages for students and alumni to perform. The family friendly free festival started on a beautiful Saturday afternoon with a small audience but as the day went on, the crowd swelled to the thousands and none were disappointed with the stellar line up of artists:
Christian McBride All Stars with Mike Stern, Chris Potter, Justin Faulkner; Sean Jones Quartet with Orrin Evans, Mark Whitfield, Matt Clohesy; Alicia Olatuja; Billy Hart Quartet with David Kikoski, Dayna Syephens, Santi Debriano; Jazz House Collective; The Baylor Project; Emmet Cohen with Kyle Poole, Russell Hall; Camille Thurman Quintet with Bruce Edwards, Brandon McCune, Tom DiCarlo, Alvester Garnett; Rudresh Mahanthappa with Linda May Han Oh, Dan Weiss; Zaccai Curtis, Yosvany Terry, Luques Terry, Willie Martinez, Camilo Molina.
