big bang productions presents the sixth annual RED HOOK JAZZ FESTIVAL on two consecutive Sundays, June 9 and June 16 in the Urban Meadow, a community garden on the Columbia Waterfront District.

Both days start at 1pm and end at 6pm.

Celebrating its sixth installment of this homegrown jazz festival, this year's line-up features some of the world's most forward-thinking jazz musicians and composers playing in modern jazz today.

The lineups for each day will be:

June 9, 2013
Clarence Penn Quartet
The Fay Victor Ensemble
James Carney Group
Willie Martinez & La Familia Sextet
Rob Brown Quartet

June 16, 2013
Mike Pride's Bacteria to Boys
Allison Miller's Big Molasses
LARK
Loren Stillman's Bad Touch
Paul Kogut Trio

The Red Hook Jazz Festival prides itself on being a homegrown jazz festival featuring an amazing line-up of mostly local talent. Where other festivals rely on corporate sponsorships and donations, the RHJF is an all-volunteer event proud to support a wide variety of superb figures in NYC jazz, both young and old. The RHJF has truly developed a tradition of presenting great music with a laid back vibe, an outdoor setting, and a strong family-friendly focus, while striving to develop the next generation of jazz audiences.

In 2012, Borough President Marty Markowitz proclaimed it Red Hook Jazz Festival Day in Brooklyn, and this year the RHJF was awarded a grant by the Brooklyn Arts Council (BAC).

The Urban Meadow is located at 19 President Street, at the corner of President & Van Brunt Streets in Brooklyn, NY. This year's RHJF is sponsored by the Brooklyn Arts Council and the House of Pizza & Calzone and the Urban Meadow. A suggested donation of $10 per adult per day is requested, and all children are admitted free of charge.
