Paul Brown Monday Night Jazz
Monday July 8 @ 6:00 pm - 9:30 pm
| FreeThe 57th Paul Brown Monday Night Jazz Series in Bushnell Park (the “Series”) will be held on six consecutive Monday evenings beginning on Monday, July 8 and concluding on Monday, August 12, 2024. As in previous years, the concerts are broadcast on the radio via WWUH 91.3FM.
The Series has been recognized as a New England Legacy and is referenced in the Library of Congress as the oldest free continuously run jazz festival in the United States. Each year the Hartford Jazz Society seeks to present a diverse program featuring musicians exhibiting the highest artistic excellence, many of which are often new to the Greater Hartford audience. Each in-person concert will consist of an opening act featuring a local musician or ensemble followed by a headliner of regional, national or international prominence. Several nights will feature themes that have evolved in the years including latin jazz, women in jazz, and a special feature for an overlooked elder statesmen of the music.
Opening act starts at 6 pm. Headliner starts at 7:30 pm.
