The National Jazz Museum in Harlem (NJMH) will present the “Shades of Blue” Garden Party & Fundraiser celebrating Miles Davis' iconic Kind of Blue album on the beautiful Kensington Estate in Long Branch, NJ on Saturday, September 21st. This singular jazz in Harlem experience in New Jersey will feature gourmet food, signature cocktails, HATS!, photo and media opportunities and much more.
“I'm so excited about bringing the ‘jazz in Harlem experience’ to Long Branch and presenting a selection of the Museum's fantastic programming with the NJMH House Band led by the mesmerizing jazz vocalist Tahira Clayton and the iconic jazz legend Paul West and the Bethune Big Band. The Garden Party looks set to be an exciting day to be remembered," says NJMH Trustee Lola Adesioye who is leading preparations for the event.
Attendees are invited to dress to impress in their best blue (more fun than formal) and favorite hat. There will be prizes for best hat and best dressed!
